More games.
Well, cluster grenades seem to be sort of pointless.
Also petrol bombs brought up a problem I saw in 2 games:
If you accidentally stand in a bad place or fall into a hole and if the opponent puts a petrol on you... you are kind of dead (or at least unable to shoot for 3 turns).
Maybe petrols have to go away?.

What about teleports?. The chances of there being a hole where you really can't get out without shooting the land or using the girder are rather small, but what if it happens?.

I agree about mortars and clusters.

I thought that was sorta the point of the petrol tho...

Teleports are probably a better option than blowtorch due to darksiding issues.

I don't much see the point in using a special map either. Only idiots will try to encroach on another player, and can't get very far in 20secs. LG + Zooka is an easy way to punish someone trying to get too close....GG

Anyways, removing mortars, clusters, petrol, adding tele and/or torch...starting to sound an awful lot like real BnG, eh? ;)

I did, but it is hard to play with yourself and try to win ^^.
Also this should be an idiot-proof scheme, if there is one island I could find the way to get close to the opponent while blocking him with the few petrols available. But if petrols are deleted...

If having a petrol means it is not BnG because it is not a "petrol bazooka" nor a "petrol grenade" (but petrol bomb), then everybody has to include a holy-hand grenade, don't you think? :roll:.
Silly naming issues.

Petrol is pretty much a grenade.

I actually think a single power 1 holy might be interesting to mix things up. :P

I think u don't need petrol to block your "idiot" opponent. I think it's ridiculous to play with idiots and trying to make an "idiot-proof" scheme... Why would u wanna do that? Let the idiots play tombola or smth if they cant follow few simple rules...
2 islands map is better solution imo, I always made them even in "regular" BnG, to prevent opponent tele on the middle of a map at the start...
U could never prevent idiot to tele right next to you, no matter how the map looks like...

I don't know, half of us was fighting with viruses at the same time tho, was rly tough afternoon.. xD

Thing that I like the most is the "fort" mode in it, with 2 islands u get the decent distance between worms... as I said, I make that kind of maps for "regular" BnG too, it prevent opponent to come too close to you...
