Trial by combat
A prearranged, formal combat between two persons, usually fought to settle a point of honor.

In our modern age, solving a problem by asking a dude to step outside is generally considered an immature, low class thing to do, exception [N] Sloop.

But for many centuries, challenging another man to a duel was not only considered a pinnacle of honor, but was a practice reserved for the upper-classes, those deemed by society to be true gentlemen.

While dueling may seem barbaric to modern men, it was a ritual that made sense in a society in which the preservation of male honor was absolutely paramount. A man’s honor was the most central aspect of his identity, and thus its reputation had to be kept untarnished by any means necessary. Duels, which were sometimes attended by hundreds of people, were a way for men to publicly prove their courage and manliness. In such a society, the courts could offer a gentleman no real justice; the matter had to be resolved with the shedding of blood.

NTW has a steam group here;
Total War Duelists - http://steamcommunity.com/groups/totalwarduelists
Our goal is simple: Solve issues via battles.
How it works: Just make a post about the player or the clan that you want to challenge,set the rules and the challenge is open in public.
You must not fight too often with one enemy, or you will teach him all your art of war
