Skirmish in MP Mode - How?

[johnyoga]

Hello Again,Trotskygrad, and others...

I now understand that Skirmish mode is the only mode which allows cooperative play.

1. When I go to Internet > Skirmish mode, there is a pull-down for 2-8 players. If I picked, say, six players from that list, will the AI adjust to a game that is "meant for six players", or does it keep spawning the same amount of units, regardless of how many players I pick on "my side"?

2. Also, I didn't quite understand the hint screen when it tried to explain how Cooperative works in Skirmish. I guess initially, each co-op player has their own, separate starting troops, and the reinforcements get evenly split between us? I am not sure how each cooperative player get to pick the type of resources we want flown in, when we both have the same MP point counter. How does this work?

Thank you for your help!
