best scheme for introducing friends to worms?

[Shadow-The-Worm]

The Beginner scheme is the best choice for the newcomers. The Select Worm at the turn's start + unlimited Ninja Ropes, Kamikazes and 1 Laser Sight make the Beginner scheme the best scheme for the newcomers!

in your opinion, yes

in everyone else's opinion, no

If they're already familiar with Worms but not the online part of it, Shopper is a good choice.

If they're completely new, Intermediate is fine.

Full Wormage is nice to test all weapons and stuff xD

It doesn't matter. Just, don't pick Hysteria as the best scheme for the newcomers, it will sound like a hell for their brains. Even I can't act so fast in this scheme, althrough I am an advanced wormer

You can't give them all the cake at start!
They will never move from full wormage.

[Godmax]

And they would never move away from max scheme, exactly. So better give them the shit first. First the work then the pleasure

[Rogi]

What about FORTS? This scheme limits tactic part of game, but opens good artillery style.

Intermediate+

SINGLE PLAYER -> TRY MISSION :D

Sorry for the necro, but I suggest Full Wormage.


Seriously, they can use whatever weapons they want.

Time Trial Rope Race

[Husk]

anything rope related, roper (easier maps), warmer, shopper and flyshopper. flyshopper is much better than wxw for newcomers

[goom]

I'd recommend a lax Kaos (give them a couple ropes/teleports/jetpacks to start with). Kaos scheme is great because they can play around figuring out weapons without instant turn loss from damage or missing their single shot by a mile. that can be very frustrating to new players, especially in a larger group (minutes between turns), this gives them a chance to settle in.

Hysteria is in my opinion the best scheme to improve shots, but the fast reaction times make it a bad introduction for newcomers (short wait between turns is a positive, once they're familiar enough to try it).

This. Newcomers should start with Full Wormage because it's fun and easy for them and they get the chance to try out a bunch of weapons and figure out what they do. After a while they can transition to other schemes like Blast Zone, then to ones with more limited inventories and get into the finer points of strategy. Newcomers could also perhaps give shopper a go eventually to practice up with the rope since it's a pretty simple scheme.
