Microscend
Mirror Matchup
The same army on both sides, five times over, against the computer: win the trade.
The same army on both sides, so the only difference is what you do with it. Five compositions an RTS player meets most, each a round against the computer: ranged against ranged, a melee line with ranged behind it, heavy cavalry, light cavalry raids and a siege line.

What it trains
Each round pays for the trade: half for an even one, more the more of your army is left and the less of theirs. Three versions, each a computer of its own: one that advances as one, one that also steps out of your shells, and one that kites your infantry and shells your crowds at 260 actions a minute. Your kinds come up on your own control groups before each round.
Rated in Micro, the one skill it uses.
Three versions
Each version is named by the ranks it measures. Start on the first; once your best is at the top of its range, the next one carries on from there.
