Skirmish Mode
Played the new - very very early stage - skirmish mode for the first time, and got beaten by the AI

Re: Skirmish Mode
Any update on when we can expect to see the skirmish mode added?
Re: Skirmish Mode
Can anyone elaborate exactly what differs skirmish mode from ordinary scenarios ? Is the AI more flexible because it is not scripted or how does it work ?
Re: Skirmish Mode
It will allow you to play on randomly generated maps (selected from a list of templates such as "islands" or "jungle") with a dynamic setup of up to 4 players (you + up to 3 AI opponents or teammates).
Alas the AI still requires some more time before it is competitive, so it's unlikely it'll make it into the Morning Sun update. Regardless, we hope to do a detailed preview about this new game mode as soon as possible.

Re: Skirmish Mode
In retrospect, most AIs in ANY game were pretty bad. But then again, Order Of Battle has potential when it comes to enhancing the AI's Scripting and calculations .

Re: Skirmish Mode
Is the skirmish mode still alive and planned for a future update or release? Also I would really like to see some new scenarios along the lines of the fork, bootcamp battle, and jungle. It's getting old playing the same couple of multiplayer scenarios over and over. I love the game, but need some fresh scenarios.
Re: Skirmish Mode
Certainly, things still on our list (and in various stages of development) are (among others): Skirmish mode, direct MP, unit counters, campaign editor, steam workshop support.
Direct MP is a likely feature for the next update in a few months from now, which should also come with some new maps to give MP some much needed love and attention

Re: Skirmish Mode
Excellent! Thank you. Direct MP? Enlighten me please. How does that differ from the MP we now have?
Re: Skirmish Mode
I'm guessing... But if it allowed you to play 'online hotseat' without having to up/download each turn, that would be an improvement.
Then you could study the map and plan your move during your opponent's turn.

Like any real-time multiplayer game: Both players are connected and see eachother's moves and chat messages instantly.

Re: Skirmish Mode
Neet! Would be awesome if that could also be done with Panzer Corps and the Battle Academy series!
