I know now 4 kind of items: pellet (to hp), eye (to visible), incubator (to faster units creating) and Aura of power (to dmg).
Are those items created randomly? I think that is simply unfair, because guy who have base near Aura of Power or pellet has bigger chance to win with it then with eye or incubator.

PS sorry for my english

EDIT: I found other items: for more skulls and to faster ship production

not necessarily. Eye can mean you can see whats coming towards you quicker and what maybe will so you will be ready, faster unit creation can help you build quicker which could help save you in a struggle. You can use any of them to great strategy really, you just need to figure out whats the best way to use it.

In my opinion, those who build loads of bunkers outside the bases of their enemies the quickest wins. How am i supposed to take on 7 bunkers built pretty much straight at the start of the game outside my base, when am still building up my food to build my force which ends up being a defense force. Even building units at the same rate as the others i still lost dramatically :(

Goner, if you're have to much trouble with the skirmishes, try to set the AI to a lower level or to a different mentality(You probably have him stuck on agressive). You can also create a custom starting army, which lets you choose your own units and resources. This might help you a lot.

Try my thread Skirmish Replays (http://forum.sunflowers.de/showthread.php?t=10152) (its in the german multiplayer forums section) click on the link RPL9def and go to the bottom of the page where you can choose between 'free' or 'PREMIUM' download method. Then use the free one and here you go level 9 easily beatn' (because of the not 'so' smart ai ;) ).
