In the new feature, "Decisive Battles," large clans are pitted against each other in a fight for dominance. These battles occur between neighboring large clans that meet certain conditions. The process begins with two opening assault siege battles, serving as a prelude to a large-scale battle. Before the opening assault, there is a six-month preparation period, allowing players to strategize and gain advantages based on the outcome of the opening assaults. Victory in the “Decisive Battle” results in the complete occupation of the opponent's domain, making it a true showdown that could determine the fate to unify Japan.

The Complete Edition also introduces six new scenarios, including historical and hypothetical ones. For example, the scenario "The Birth of Nobunaga," features key figures like Nobunaga's father, Nobuhide Oda, and the cunning strategist Tsunehisa Amago. The "Fateful Clash" scenario begins immediately after the Honnō-ji Incident, when Mitsuhide Akechi betrayed and attacked Nobunaga. Additionally, the hypothetical scenario "Absence of Great Conflict," starting from January 1547, explores a world where the Oda clan's rise continued without the Ōnin War. These scenarios allow players to experience a wide variety of Sengoku period situations, blending historical and fictional narratives.
