Deathmatch is a mode in Halo Wars Skirmish or Multi-player where everything, from infantry, to ground vehicles airborne units and even bases start off fully upgraded: however, Leader Powers will automatically improve over time, though at a relatively fast pace. The player has 15000 Resources and all technologies are researched, the population total starts at 15 and increases by 10 for each base that is claimed. Population, however, cannot exceed 99, so, if you capture eight bases it doesn't grow anymore with subsequent bases.
