Battle

A Battle is a single-player or online skirmish on the Battle Map between up to 8 factions of the player's choosing. It is one of the three playable game modes of Hyrule: Total War along with Hyrule Historia and the Freeform Campaign. All factions are available in Battles, excluding the Oocca and Church of Majora. NPC faction units can be selected as mercenaries for appropriate factions. Battles can either be a Custom Battle, in which player selects the factions, map, and features of the battle, or a Quick Battle, which is entirely randomized.

Gameplay Modes
Custom Battles currently support the Stock Medieval 2: Total War gameplay modes. Field Battles (battlefields lacking a settlement) can be played as either Last Man Standing or Scored Resolution. Maps with settlements have only one option- Siege Assault.

Last Man Standing
Player must kill or route all enemy forces.

Scored Resolution
The army with the highest score (either a preset or the highest when the time runs out) wins the battle.

Siege Assault
Attacking faction must breach a settlement's defenses and either kill all defending forces or take the central point (denoted by the enemy's flags) for 2 minutes, while Defender must kill/route all enemy forces or hold them at bay until the time limit runs out.
