ALLIED TEAMS

By default, there will be no icon in this panel, but it's possible to select 1 of 6

possible alliance colours by using the Left Mouse Button to cycle through them

(and back to none again). All teams who share the same badge will play as the

same side.

Allied games play exactly like normal games, but with a few notable exceptions;

Allied players pool the weapons. (i.e. Players use weapons in the combined weapon

sets of allied teams. e.g. Two players with the standard weapon set would have two

Dynamites available.) Allied players get accredited with a victory if their alliance

wins, even if their team is defeated. During the game, alliances take turns to have

their move. Teams within alliances will take turns to move within that alliance.

NUMBER OF WORMS IN THE TEAM

You can click with the Left Mouse Button to cycle through this number (one through

to the maximum) to alter the amount of Worms that the team will start with. The

game will never allow more than eight Worms per team, or eighteen Worms in total.

The default setting is three. This setting is also useful if you wish to have a game

where, for example, five teams of one Worm wish to play as an alliance against a

single team with five Worms.

GAME STYLES

The game is supplied with a number of game styles. These styles contain set-ups

of the options and weapons, which govern how the game plays. The name of the

style indicates the style of game you can expect.

It’s also possible for you to create your own game styles by clicking the SAVE AS

icon and typing a description for the style. You can also delete styles if you wish

by pressing the delete icon. Note that default sets cannot be deleted. Styles can

be accessed by the drop down menu and selected from there.

You can override the settings in the game style by modifying the options in the

Weapon, Game and General Options screens, these will not be saved unless you

choose to do so.

Note : The default game styles are also played on WORMNET (see the Internet

section) so its useful to practice playing with these styles if you intend to be a top

ranking Worms Armageddon player on the Internet.
