Deathmatch
From Worms Knowledge Base
Deathmatch is a single player mode in Worms Armageddon and Worms World Party that has ranks and uses the Intermediate scheme. Every victory will increase your team's rank, but if the match is a draw or you lose, your rank will decrease. Quitting the game will count as losing, but causing it to crash or otherwise taking the game down will not decrease your rank. The best rank is Elite and the worst is Absolute Beginner.

AI teams
As you play deathmatches, you will notice teams are always the same. You may also notice they're always ordered in a way ROYALTY is always the team with the highest CPU level (the full order being ROYALTY → TEAM17 → NASTY CREW → DODGY8 → VENOM). ROYALTY and TEAM17 are present in every deathmatch, whereas other teams don't appear in certain deathmatches.
Here are the teams and the worms in them (this should help you planning your moves - italic names means the worm doesn't appear in any deathmatch; these names are known thanks to the localization files):
Note that some of the names are References to other midia.
