Love me some Skirmish! The pacing is faster than in earlier games. I am liking it so far, but it's different than i'm used to and i do think i'm not the only one.
Bots start harassing almost immediately. This was not entirely the case back in HW1 and Emergence. The behaviour is different and i can kind of understand what's going on and act accordingly, but i also want to build up my fleet and roll out the battle cruisers.
The last few skirmish games end up around the time i started building destroyers and carriers( this was in both easy and standard). It does seem it's mandatory to get in combat right at the start and constantly, every time, and keep it going.
This does seem very different than the older games. Back then i built an entire armada, knowingly that the enemy had the time to prepare as well and duke it out then. Very epic!
I miss that. The no rush rule in Remastered helped and that could be a step in the right direction to create these opportunities for peeps who want a more relaxed and prepared game at the start.
This is the first time i'm doing a slow mode thing and if people have the same kind of opinion about this, don't hesitate, let it be known and throw in a comment!
