[[Mole Forts]] is a combination of [[Fort]] and [[Mole Shopper]] played on maps consisting of two separate islands.
+
'''Mole Fort''' (sometimes '''Mole Forts''') is a scheme that combines the themes of the [[Fort]] and [[Mole Shopper]] schemes. Two teams of players each occupy an island, comprising a solid block of land with some small holes for worms to start in. Players begin with a very limited selection of tools and weapons and must collect them from crates, digging caves within their fort to allow space for crates to appear.

In the beginning, each team must teleport its worms onto one of the forts. The starting team is usually the one that chooses the side they want to play on. Each fort belongs exactly a single team. The scheme can can be played in 1v1, 2v2 or 3v3 variants. The more players participate in the game, the more important cooperation inside individual forts is. The aim of the game is to create space for crates to randomly spawn on your side of the map, but at the same time keep your fort in good condition. As more crates appear throughout the game, the players get access to a huge variety of weapons. Players must generally expect everything from the hostile fort. Invasions of any kind are allowed, as long as all players start the game from the appropriate positions (1 fort = 1 team).

There are '''no rules'''. Unlike in the Fort scheme, invasions of any kind are allowed.
  
−
* '''Invasion following Uzi/Minigun/Handgun/Napalm''' - Some forts are often placed too far to be reached directly by using parachute. In order to climb enemy's fort you can shoot its surface with some dispersed bullets on the upper part of the walls. This would be your landing zone in case of Invasion with parachute. The exposed flaws on the wall enable you to stand on them and climb upwards. If the wind is helpful enough to make you reach this part of the wall, it will help you as well to get to the enemies and attack. Watch out for your time limit!! The single flight may take 25-30 seconds of your turn. Recommened for players who are totally acquainted with the use of parachute. The enemy may as well block the climbing area with a girder, if he feels insecure.
+
The scheme is not currently supported by [[HostingBuddy]].
  
−
* '''Arms Race''' - Turn your fort into your own military factory! Blow big parts of your fort in order to be the first who finds French Sheeps, Earthquake or Pasty's Magic Bullet. If you don't find a better use for Old Woman, blow it inside your own fort for more crates.
+
== Tactics ==
  
−
* '''Invasion with Mole''' - This particular type of Invasion must be carried out when you travel to enemy's fort with your head facing the enemy. As you come closer to the walls than the distance of 1 long girder, throw a mole and let him dig your way into the fort. It will build the safe nest for your spy. You don't really need to hurry since you lose your turn within the mole being thrown. It's recommended for people whose "landing zones" were blocked with a girder. The invador who is hidden in the walls is usually not exposed to instant attacks from the enemy.
+
Experienced players will be familiar with the scheme's tactics:
  
−
* '''Granade Fireworks''' - You can try to destroy the roof of the enemy's fort and throw a lot of explosives inside. Sooner or later the enemies may have serious problems with reconstructing their base.
+
* '''Make space for crates.''' Turn your fort into your own military factory! Blow big holes in your fort to attract crates, and if you attract more than your opponent then you may well be the first to find super weapons that can destroy your enemy. Some weapons like the [[Old Woman]] cannot be used long-range and may serve a better purpose in creating caves in your own fort.
 +
* '''Blast holes in the roof.''' Many thrown weapons will bounce into the enemy fort and cause chaos, providing there are holes to throw them into. Destroy their roof and they will be vulnerable.
 +
* '''Prepare a landing zone in the side of the enemy fort.''' The two forts are usually placed too far apart to be reached directly using the parachute. In order to land on the enemy's fort, try  shooting the fort's wall with a gun. This provides nooks to land inside when travelling over by parachute. If the pockmarks are distributed all the way to the top of the wall, you can then climb them upwards and access the fort directly for an attack (failing that, just blowtorch inside and wait for the next turn - assuming you survive the counterstrike). The single flight may take 25-30 seconds of your turn, so careful timing is important.
 +
* '''Making a landing zone as you invade.''' If you don't want to show your hand, you can invade and make a landing zone on the very same turn. Face your worm to the enemy fort, float over on the parachute, and you close in on the enemy fort's wall, release a mole bomb and let him dig your way into the fort. You will need to wait for the next turn to attack, but the mole's tunnel can provide a safe nest for your intruder.
 +
* '''Make a bridge.''' Build girders between the forts and you'll be able to invade with ease. Careful positioning is recommended, since the enemy may use it against you.
  
−
* '''Bridge''' - Build at least 1 girder between the forts. Such a platform turns enemy's fort into easily accessible by using parachute. However, the wind may put your position in danger as well.

Mole Fort (sometimes Mole Forts) is a scheme that combines the themes of the Fort and Mole Shopper schemes. Two teams of players each occupy an island, comprising a solid block of land with some small holes for worms to start in. Players begin with a very limited selection of tools and weapons and must collect them from crates, digging caves within their fort to allow space for crates to appear.

Description

Players start by placing their worms onto one of the forts. The first player to do so can choose which of the two forts their team shall occupy.

The aim of the game is to create space for crates to randomly spawn on the players' side of the map, but at the same time keep the fort in a defensible condition. As more crates appear throughout the game, the players get access to a variety of weapons. Players must generally expect everything from the hostile fort.

There are no rules. Unlike in the Fort scheme, invasions of any kind are allowed.

The scheme is not currently supported by HostingBuddy.

Tactics

Experienced players will be familiar with the scheme's tactics:

  • Make space for crates. Turn your fort into your own military factory! Blow big holes in your fort to attract crates, and if you attract more than your opponent then you may well be the first to find super weapons that can destroy your enemy. Some weapons like the Old Woman cannot be used long-range and may serve a better purpose in creating caves in your own fort.
  • Blast holes in the roof. Many thrown weapons will bounce into the enemy fort and cause chaos, providing there are holes to throw them into. Destroy their roof and they will be vulnerable.
  • Prepare a landing zone in the side of the enemy fort. The two forts are usually placed too far apart to be reached directly using the parachute. In order to land on the enemy's fort, try shooting the fort's wall with a gun. This provides nooks to land inside when travelling over by parachute. If the pockmarks are distributed all the way to the top of the wall, you can then climb them upwards and access the fort directly for an attack (failing that, just blowtorch inside and wait for the next turn - assuming you survive the counterstrike). The single flight may take 25-30 seconds of your turn, so careful timing is important.
  • Making a landing zone as you invade. If you don't want to show your hand, you can invade and make a landing zone on the very same turn. Face your worm to the enemy fort, float over on the parachute, and you close in on the enemy fort's wall, release a mole bomb and let him dig your way into the fort. You will need to wait for the next turn to attack, but the mole's tunnel can provide a safe nest for your intruder.
  • Make a bridge. Build girders between the forts and you'll be able to invade with ease. Careful positioning is recommended, since the enemy may use it against you.
