Title: Longbow hitting only one worm
Post by: Alby87 on August 31, 2013, 01:39 PM

Hi! During a "friendly" game with my rival, he complained about the shot at 03.20 in this replay: he shooted two Worms, but with the longbow he hitted only one. Why this happened?

Many thanks :)

*something technical*: http://www.normalnonoobs.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=3&p=4&hilit=bow#p2743

edit: this part:
Shooting one worm out of a group
:arrow: If you want to shoot only one worm then you certainly need the arrow to stop at one of the predefined locations, and the easiest way of achieving that is being as close as possible to your target. If the arrow touches more than one worm, which one of the group gets shot usually depends on which worm performed the last action, being that worm the last that will be shot. For example if worm A walks, then worm B moves to the same place worm A was and then worm C does the same the first worm getting shot will be A, then B and then C. When you use a weapon on another worm and then hide with it, the worm being shot by the arrow will be the one who performed the shot unless it damaged both worms (then the one who performed the shot will dodge the arrow).

I guess that's what happened?

Too lazy to watch the replay hehe  ;D

Many thanks, both of you! I really loved the technical part of the explanation!  This is what happened, then! Worms don't stop surprise me even after so many years  ;)  Tomorrow I'll tell to my rival...

Ahah, I mean discovering something new about the game logic :) It happened some time shooting only one, but I never cared about it. This time happened to my friend (against me), and he pointed that to me, because he tought that because only one worm died and not the two that were in the group, this changed the fate of the round  ;D

He play Worms only with me since 4 years, and we don't go to far from "intermediate", only more ropes to move the 8 Worms (instead of standard 3) we each have.

Intermediate is the furthest you can have
