So am I dumb or is there no Standard Skirmish?

Games Halo Wars Series
1

The game crashed during a campaign level so I figured that was a good time to try a skirmish game. I never bother with multiplayer, out of the hundreds of hours I spent in Halo Wars 1, 90% of it was screwing around in Skirmish with the AI. Anyhoo, at first I thought it was -Yoink- that I could set up a 2v4 or 1v5 game BUT HAHA NO THEY SPENT TIME AND EFFORT TO CODE CHECKS TO PREVENT THAT INSTEAD OF NOT LETTING YOU SET IT THAT WAY IN THE FIRST PLACE but that isn’t why I’m here.

Am I missing something or is there no Standard game type? I don’t want domination, I don’t want stronghold, I do want death match but not all the time. I want to A; build my base AND economy. B; research tech. And C; destroy all the enemy’s bases. Not stand around in specific spots of the map while making darn sure they stand somewhere else or Sports harder than they can Sports so my Sports number gets bigger. Like I have to be missing something, right? How is this not literally the first and most basic gametype? This would be like if Halo 6 launches without a Slayer gametype. (oh my god, I’m calling it now. Halo 6 won’t have Slayer.)

COOL. So I learned that “deathmatch” basically is standard. I’m sure you can forgive my confusion seeing as how the names were swapped. So there’s basically no actual deathmatch then, coolio. That sucks but I’ll get over it since you can set your starting supplies and power. ALSO figured out you can kinda do 1v2 or 2v1, probably can do 1v3 on 3v3 maps too which I suppose I can also dig because that’s a gained feature. This thread isn’t really needed anymore, thanks.

It’s you. It’s there. At the top scroll over to skirmish and select and select death match.

I know now, the problem is obviously I did not realize that deathmatch and standard were combined, in a sense. They probably could have made that a little clearer in the description, but I did find out so no points taken for it now. I didn’t go through and try it out because I had no reason to think they changed it from the original HW, and I didn’t want to play actual deathmatch.
