I am new at this type of game but I was finally able to finish it. Wow, great game. I have never been so addicted to a game before.
Anyway, I have seen a lot of people requestion "skirmish" feature for furture release. What exactly is that?

Haven't you ever play RTS games on the PC? Skirmish mode is where you don't have missions, you can build any unit/structure (depending on the tech level, if there is one), and you choose a map (either one you made or one that has already been made) and you just dook it out with the Palm AI, kind of like playing against anotehr human in multiplayer basically.

If that is the case, then I think that playing with missions with a story line is more fun.

Skirmish modes are much more replayable. I prefer the freedom to do what I like. Story mode is good when you're learning to play, but once you've completed that, what next? Start over? Lemme loose I say!

Yeah, the Skirmish mode is what mainly makes a game more playable. In the story, you have to do the missions, while in Skirmish mode almost anything can happen.
Once the map maker comes out, one Idea I have for a map is making two replicators, one by each base, tehn you can have huge battles, it will be really cool. I also plan on making a bunch of different maps, but I won't be able to play them unless one of my friends gets a Palm...That is one reason I want a skirmish mode, I have no one to play with on multiplayer.
