Petrol on Ice is a RubberWorm scheme focused mostly on aiming. It is the "sibling" of the scheme Rope on Ice. There are 1-flame-only Petrols (power = 256), so players have to be pretty accurate during the 30 seconds of turn time to hit the frozen 1HP worms.
This scheme has very few weapons. The initial ammo consists in: x2 Bazookas, x2 Grenades, x2 Cluster Bombs and x2 Mortars. A crate will spawn every turn and will always contain x2 Petrol Bombs, despite the rare chance of finding a Worm Select, that cannot be used due to the delay of 128 turns. Arillery/Anchor mode is on. Nothing happens if Sudden Death starts. Teleport, Low Gravity and Freeze are infinite.
There are the following RubberWorm settings: sdet, fdpt, cratelimit(1), reaim, alp. This means that the scheme has multiple shots per turn, firing a weapon will not pause the timer, the maximum number of crate that can stay on the map is 1, the angle of the aim changes automatically to zero degrees (horizontal) every turn start, and anti-lock power: holding space bar to fire will decrease the power when it reaches the maximum.
Rules
- Everyone must use Freeze in the first turn.
- Always teleport where a crate is and attack from that spot.
- Use Freeze again before every turn ends (for your good).
Tactics
- Weapons that start with players and have only x2 of ammo will not be available in crates. So, these weapons must be used wisely, for example: to punish worms that forgot to use freeze at the end of the turn, or to push flamelets to frozen worms, or to plop frozen worms.
History
The scheme was created by sbs, being released on WMDB along with the original map on 31st August 2017. It was inspired by the cold winter around Argentina.
