a couple of NOOB q's reg. skirmish

[kainalu]

Hey all,

I was wondering a couple of things about skirmish:

1. How do you pick starting points on a map? like I want point 0 and I want my CPU enemy to have point 8

2. What are the sliding bars next to the team letters on the screen that you adjust right before hitting start? I notice that setting them all the way down will remove that team so Im guessing..difficulty?

Thanks!

Click on your flag, and then on NUMBER, not flag, of position on what you would like to be.

2. What are the sliding bars next to the team letters on the screen that you adjust right before hitting start? I notice that setting them all the way down will remove that team so Im guessing..difficulty?

Yes, that is difficulity.

Ok, one more thing, How do I set the start position of my computer opponent?

You don't. You just edit the computer opponents already in that position.

I've put all of your questions together into one screen shot. In the picture you will see that I've chosen to start as player 3 and I have only a single AI opponent at player 5. I have also turned up the player 3 AI. This means the AI is going to cheat with more power than I start off with, which will make him a little tougher to beat. I have also disabled the other 6 players entirely by turning them down to the point where their flag no longer appears. This is how you turn an AI off.

If I had made no changes when I selected to this map, I would default to player 0 and all the other 7 AIs would be in play at a normal power setting (the slider would be in the middle).
