Skirmish Difficulty Scaling
Run the same custom map at increasing challenge levels, noting how your optimal strategy changes at each level. Adjust your approach based on observed difficulty spikes.
- Start with lower challenge levels to learn mechanics before increasing difficulty.
- Use terrain variations to practice different defensive layouts.
04 / THE GUIDE
LAN Timing Coordination
Coordinate turn timing with a friend during a LAN match, measuring how pause lengths influence decision quality. Experiment with faster versus more deliberate pacing.
- Coordinate turn timing with friends to keep matches flowing smoothly.
- Test different strategies against human opponents for deeper insight.
