Missing from the overhead map is an indication of elevation. Here, a battlefield map displays known enemy and allied unit positions, buildings and structures, waterways, and forests. Once you choose a battle, you will take part in the war council, which is the planning phase. When you successfully complete a major or decisive battle, the storyline advances.

These smaller battles also allow more powerful characters to recuperate so they're ready for bigger conflicts. Minor battles serve to simply aid you in acquiring new attributes for your characters, such as experience points, troops types, and gold.

On the other hand, fans of Koei's own Dynasty Warriors series who've wanted a pinch of unit management with their hack-'n'-slasher will probably enjoy what Kessen III has to offer. Kessen III is marketed as an action/strategy game, but strategy fans hoping for a deep strategic experience will be disappointed with the game's emphasis on hacking 'n' slashing and head-on warfare. If you recall, the original Kessen was a launch title for the PS2, and it impressed gamers with a graphics engine that allowed dozens of soldiers to be displayed on screen at once. Kessen III is Koei's latest entry in their well-known action/strategy series.
