Skirmish settings should help with that a bit.

Incidentally, this is the place to float new feature request ideas correct?


Depends on who you ask.  The bugtracker has an option when you report an

likelihood of it getting spotted, but there is no room for discussion on the
topic.  If you're looking for feedback, here's the place, I would say.
