I'M SORRY!!!!!!!! I THINK I DELETED THE ORIGINAL SUDDEN DEATH INFORMATION. I TOUGHT I COULD DO ANOTHER PAGE EXCLUSIVE FOR THE SUDDEN DEATH SCHEME. PLEASE IF SOMEONE PUT THE NORMAL SUDDEN DEATH INFORMATION AGAIN TO FIX MY STUPID MISTAKE, I'LL SLEEP IN PEACE. AND PLEASE FORGIVE ME. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I EDITED SOMETHING HERE. THE SUDDEN DEATH INFORMATION WAS SO COMPLETE... I AM REALLY AN IDIOT.

'''Sudden Death''' (sometimes referred as '''SD''' in [[Terminology|worms terminology]]) is a phenomenum that changes the scenario significantly during a round of a match (usually harsh conditions), what can be used strategically. It happens when the determined ''[[Game_scheme_file#Options|Round Time]]'' of a [[Schemes|scheme]] was not sufficient to determine a winner, so it is usually a mechanism of the game to shorten the playtime, by making it easier for players or hazards to end the round. The Sudden Death can also be used to end the game instantly and determine a winner based on the scheme criteria. Some schemes (such as [[Sudden Sinking]] and [[Armageddon (scheme)|Armageddon]]) start the gameplay with Sudden Death, in others, it is irrelevant.

This scheme start the game with Sudden Death (1 HP for each worm, water rise level 2). The Mines are instant (0 seconds), you can choose the position of the worms (and do suicides before start the match too), the weapons ammo are few and there's only weapons that need skill to use (without napalm, air strike, pidgey or similar). Crates may appear sometimes with more ammo. The scheme is one shot one kill and it's very fast!

(Up to Game logic)

Sudden Death (sometimes referred as SD in worms terminology) is a phenomenum that changes the scenario significantly during a round of a match (usually harsh conditions), what can be used strategically. It happens when the determined Round Time of a scheme was not sufficient to determine a winner, so it is usually a mechanism of the game to shorten the playtime, by making it easier for players or hazards to end the round. The Sudden Death can also be used to end the game instantly and determine a winner based on the scheme criteria. Some schemes (such as Sudden Sinking and Armageddon) start the gameplay with Sudden Death, in others, it is irrelevant.

Sudden Death options

The available options for Sudden Death are:

  • Round ends (the strongest team wins - according to the game logic, but the rules of a scheme might use other criteria)
  • Nuclear bomb (worms are poisoned, but unlike the Nuclear Bomb weapon, no flooding occurs)
  • Worm health reduced to a single point on all worms
  • No energy is lost

  • Sudden Death Off

  • Nuclear bomb

  • 1 HP

  • Flooding (no energy is lost)

An additional option, independent of those above, controls the speed at which the water rises at Sudden Death. By default, the speed of flooding during Sudden Death is either 0, 1, 2, or 3, but can be modified using an external scheme editor; for further information, see the "flooding speed" section below.

  • Flooding off

  • Slow (5px/turn)

  • Moderate (20px/turn)

  • Fast (45px/turn)

Timing of Sudden Death

  • Sudden Death always occurs between turns, never during a turn.
  • Sudden Death never occurs before the Sudden Death clock runs to zero.
  • Sudden Death will not always occur immediately after the turn during which the clock runs to zero. Rather, the precise timing of Sudden Death is determined randomly, and will occur after one of the turns shortly afterwards. (elaboration needed)

Flooding speed

Using an external scheme editor, the byte value which controls the speed of flooding at sudden death can be changed to values other than 0, 1, 2, or 3. The following table shows the available flooding speeds and their corresponding byte values; the formula being WRSPEED = ((WRBYTE pow 2) * 5) mod 256.
