If you’ve never played a worms game before W.M.D, there are a few options that might confuse you. Among them are the so-called schemes settings you can access through the customization menu. So, here’s how these work.
What Are Schemes in Worms W.M.D
Schemes, also known as “Game Style” are customizable sets of rules that can be used in multiplayer games, you host. From the menu, you can set a whole number of options the way you want, such as drop rates of certain items, the amount of time each worm has to retreat after attacking, and how many objects are there on the map.
Default Schemes
The game comes with a few default schemes you can use if you don’t want to spend too much time customizing your game. Still, the game doesn’t offer any explanation of how exactly each predefined scheme works, so you’ll need to trust the names of each game mode.
Custom Schemes
If you want to have more control over your game, you should take some time to make your own schemes. A good idea is to use an already existing scheme you like as a base and tweak some settings to your liking.
Also, keep in mind that some mechanics, such as fall damage, can be turned off. Either way, it’s a good idea to at least spend some time getting acquainted with every option if you’re planning to host your own game, even if you’re not planning to use some of them at all.
