Watch also my last game: Was a REALLY good one but the video kinda got lost in the middle of all the recent uploads:

"FINALLY we got the big WORMS" proceeds to get rekt by melting point

Melting Point OP

I think the trick with Worms is to go into them only a little bit, so you can lure out big units and switch into a hacker/fang/fortress stlye composition.

you betrayed that loyal marksman T_T

It would be really great if the worms actually countered melting points.

Sandstorm was missing in my opinion but I also have this feeling of how broken Melting point is... It came down as lv 1 and started to bully your lv 5 worm. Like come on, this should have been an easy win considering your tempo. I believe Melting point is fundamentally broken...

munqst is head of stopoil organization confirmed

Mechanical Rage is a good pick up with the worms because it allows for easier chaff clear and the sandstorm makes every range unit a melee unit

I think more what happened here is just an intensive training game. you used your intensive training and module for eco and unit count, they had two so got to keep equal on eco while also getting a massive exp advantage. worms do fine into melting points, but not when all the worms are lvl 1 and all the melters are lvl 2.

Think round 8 might have finished em off with Mech Rage / Regen on those worms?

The Worms aren't bad, Larvae are. Both of the spawning techs are absolute trash on the Worm, IMHO you lost round 8 when you went Replicate instead of Sandstorm. The Sandstorm would have forced Munqst's Typhoons to retarget off of your carrying Boats from losing the range to keep shooting at them. The Larvae just don't have anywhere near the health to justify using it as a "chaff defense" with Replicate nor are dangerous enough to justify using supply for Mech Div on the premise of having your Worms die. Then spending the next 2 rounds overspending on spamming low level worms instead of giving your existing leveled worms the debuff utility or attacking power of Sandstorm or Rage only sealed it as a loss.

I would disagree with worms being bad. They're actually pretty good against things like melting point, hacker, steel balls, but you need to be able to have them always moving so that they break the lock ons from those units. If your opponent has spread out forces its great, if they have things clustered together your worms are exposed too long. Placing them back further can help by allowing more separation of enemy units.

Just curious, what triggered you to go overlord this game? I honestly have not been finding much use for them outside of a counter to scorpions or spamming photon coating if I expect emp. If I need something that's good against medium units I usually just go balls, scorpion, or fort.

I really wonder if there is a hotkey to upgrade units rank, or if they will add it later.

Im pretty surprised that Larva didnt scale with level

@surreyEZ nice vid; haven't had a chance to play the patch yet so I appreciate some footage of the new worms.

can you guys please explain when to place units vertically or horizontally? never got that one

If you didn't go the worm what would you have went?

Second view, second like 😎
