AI Opponents[]

The different playstyles of AI (aggressive, defensive, types of preferred units...) are represented by 8 opponents, who also are unlockable Advisors that you obtain once you beat them in a Skirmish 1v1 battle (standard or higher difficulty).

There is also a Random tactics general in which the AI will randomly follow one of the above's play style.

Rewards[]

  • Each time you complete a match you earn XP, Coin and 2 chests.  
  • Additionally, there are global quests which award additional chests (that use the Skirmish Hall loot table), Coin, XP and Advisors. To unlock these quests, be sure to complete the quest, “You Never Forget Your First Ten” - and then accept the following quests:
    • "Taking Out the Trash" - Defeat any 10 Skirmish Hall opponents and earn a scaling bonus of XP and Coin + 4 at-level Chests.
    • "Cleaning House" - Defeat 10 fierce or stronger opponents and earn a scaling bonus of XP and Coin + 5 at-level Chests.
    • "Kicking Them to the Curb" - Defeat 10 unstoppable opponents and earn a scaling bonus of XP and Coin + 6 at-level Chests.
    • "Hidden Skirmish Quests" - There are a total of 5 hidden quests that are only awarded as their tasks are completed at the end of each skirmish. These award XP, a trophy for your city, and sometimes gold.
    • "Skirmishing Centurion" - Defeat any 100 Skirmish Hall opponents, not repeatable.
      • "Grand Skirmisher" - Defeat any 1000 Skirmish Hall opponents, not repeatable. Unlocks from Skirmishing Centurion and has no follow up quest upon completion.
  • There are 24 unique pieces of skirmish gear in the loot tables spread throughout different levels. The chance to earn these is the same as the chance of earning any other piece of gear within the item's rarity and drop weight for its category in the skirmish hall.
  • Because of Skirmish level being adjustable through the various settings combined with the fast speed of Spearman rushing, it is a very efficient way of farming pre-40 gear that cannot be earned from Moe's Mystorium.


Description[]

"The fully configurable Skirmish Booster Pack allows you to choose every element of PvE gameplay, from resources, teams, and victory conditions to opponent civilizations, difficulty, and strategy.

All units are automatically unlocked and battle-ready.
It supports 2-player co-op against up to 4 computer-controlled enemies.
You can also do battle on more than 20 different maps.

There are a large number of options and settings that can be configured in the Skirmish Booster. For all of the settings other than victory condition, players can also choose a random option that makes the battles even more chaotic and exciting.

The Skirmish Booster allows access to all of your civilization's units even if you haven't unlocked them in the tech tree through the campaign. You also have access to all of the ages, even if you haven't reached the appropriate city level and unlocked them via the tech tree. You do not, however, get access to all technologies; these still need to be unlocked by spending points you receive for leveling. Experience earned from the Skirmish Booster can be used to level, fully unlocking units and technologies, and improve the rewards.

Speaking of rewards, the greater the challenge, the bigger they get. In addition to being rewarded at the end of each successful match, there will be several global quests that allow you to earn unique advisors, vanity trophies, and additional experience, coin, and chests."
