On Sudden Death timing (did someone request elaboration?).
After some testing, I've come to a conclusion that it is indeed determined randomly. Namely, I had two teams with the same amount of worms and health, 1-minute round time, and I did several consequent rounds on the same map. Turns were skipped (no attacks or moving) with 31-second wait - that resulted in round time always expiring at the end of 2nd team's turn.
Therefore, I believe, most possible factors were eliminated, like differences in damage dealt, health remaining, total health, anything related to motion - leaving only starting team order (but maybe I'm missing something?). And still there was no invariability in which team's turn would be the last one before Sudden Death fell.
So, is that enough to conclude that SD timing is absolutely random? Cb14 15:41, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
