The Full Wormage, or simply Full Wormage, is an intrinsic scheme that, as the name suggests, is all about fully engaging in worm carnage. Worms are free to test out their maximum strength weaponry at their leisure, or just mess around with any weapon or utility they wish. Contrary to its name, not every setting is set to maximum.

Worms start with 200 HP, can move around freely, can choose their starting location (unless CPU teams are present), but only 30 seconds turn time, a modest 15 minute round timer, and cannot choose worm during the beginning of a turn. Every weapon (except Invisibility outside of local gameplay) including super weapons are enabled with no delay, and all weapons (excluding super weapons) have 5 power. Crates are very likely deployed at the end of each round, dropping Utility Crates and Health Crates, with 1 point into Utility Crates and 9 points into Health Crates, and Health Crates give +100 health. Mines are set to a random fuse, both mines and oil drums can appear across the landscape, and dud mines can occur. If Sudden Death occurs, all worms are poisoned by a nuclear explosion and water rises at the maximum rate. No Donor Cards from killed worms.

Tactics

Criticisms, problems and weaknesses

  • It is not possible to increase the turn time or round time of Full Wormage directly in-game; attempting to adjust any setting in Full Wormage simply gets rid of the Super Weapons and utility weapons.
  • As all weapons are enabled, including every single super weapon, and every power-adjustable weapon is at 5 stars of power (the maximum power that can be set without external scheme editors), it is difficult to settle into strategising for other schemes.
  • Since this scheme has unlimited very powerful weapons, it makes more sense to play with many worms on the map. Although, this scheme has manual placement, what can be very boring, since it will take a lot more time to start the game.
  • For standard size maps (1920x696 pixels), this scheme may destroy the map way too easily. So, playing on bigger maps might be better.

History

The scheme has been around as long as the game itself (Worms Armageddon was released in 1999), having been provided as part of the default schemes in the base game.

Competitive events

There were several attempts of organizing competitions using Full Wormage scheme. None of them were succesful until this edit. Examples are: [1], [2] [3], [4], [5].
