'''Skirmish''' is the quick mode of [[TI Multiplayer]]: one tactical [[Space Combat|space battle]] between two players, set up from the main menu. There is no campaign and nothing is saved.

== Setting up ==
# The host creates a session and uses '''Toggle Mode''' until it shows ''Skirmish''. The lobby shows ''Side 1 (Host)'' and ''Side 2 (Guest)''. Exactly two players can take part. Co-op and campaign settings are not available. With more than one guest in the lobby the switch is refused (''Skirmish is a 1v1 mode, but n players are in this lobby. Only one guest may stay to switch to Skirmish.'').
# When the guest has joined, the host clicks '''Start Game'''. The vanilla skirmish setup window opens on both computers.
# Each player edits '''only their own side''': faction and ships. The guest adds ships with '''Add Guest Ships'''. Designs loaded with ''Import from save…'' are shared with the other player.
# The host chooses the location and the hab and clicks '''Begin'''.

== The battle ==
* The host's computer runs the battle. Each player commands only their own fleet.
* The battle clock belongs to the host: the guest can neither pause nor change the speed.
* You win by destroying the other side or by the other side disengaging. '''End Battle''' ends it as a draw, but only when '''both''' players choose it.

== After the battle ==
The vanilla battle summary is the result screen. The session closes afterwards. If a player disconnects, the other sees '''Skirmish Ended''' with '''Return to Main Menu''' (''The connection to the host was lost.'' / ''<name> has left the skirmish. The match is over.'').
