Is it still liddat ? Cause I remember in the org wz, you couldn't get the howitzer, ripple rockets and all the high end stuff in skirmish, so it gave me a surprise the first time I engaged the Collective and howitzers came crashing down.

Actually you can have all technology in Skirmish if you choose T3 (T2 is some less advanced stuff and T1 even fewer).

When selecting a map you can choose from T1/T2/T3, that decides the techlevel.

iirc, there shouldn't be any barrier to tech advancement -- you should be able to start with t1, and research your way through t3, but then, it's been a while since i've played. if you can't, there should at least be an option next to the tech level selection that lets you toggle those artificial barriers.

No, there are no barriers, howitzers and ripple rockets should be available in skirmish, no matter if you start with T1,T2 or T3.

Huh. I always though T1, T2 and T3 meant difficulty of the AI.  :P


Oh well. I'm off to pummel some AIs ....

Nope AI difficulty really is determined by those player-scroll bars just before the final click to load the map up.
