Skirmish Mode

[Gorgeous_Joe]

What is the point of this mechanic still being in the game? It's been in this awful state since day one.

Units on skirmish mode either

A - Run into a corner IF they are quick enough to elude the enemy
B - Due to the charge mechanic being broken as **** they are simply run down by A.I units cycle charging.

and an Honorable mention to range skirmish when they simply don't move out of the range of other missile units, even when they out range them.

So many stupidly frustrating things are still in this game which have NEVER been changed. Is it because single player just doesn't matter anymore?

I've found situations where it's useful, but they're the minority. Usually when it's have a ranged unit live long enough for another of my guys to come relieve them, or when I have two half strength ranged units against a full strength melee (one unit kites, the other shoots).

I have no issues with skirmish mode and I do use it a lot. Micromanaging can get a bit hectic but its nothing major

If it's still broken, then yeah. They broke it in WH3 and never fixed it because CA is crap.

In 2 it's fine, just don't be using it on units that aren't supposed to be skirmishing, like riflemen and regular archers.
