So now we have a keyboard greater than a script. What to do about it?
As someone who grew up with many of the Worms games, WA will always be my favorite game in mind. However, both the classic Worms United and Worms 2 have a special place in my heart since they had features that WA did not include for various reasons.
Worms United introduced us to exploding crates, Now many people hated it, and so did I at first, however, it grew on me eventually. Exploding Crates became one of my favorite features in both Worms 1 and 2, it's so sad it was removed in Armageddon. Now, I understand the hate for it, it sucks when you pick up a crate and it goes "Boom" in your face, I had that done to me in many games, however, it balances itself perfectly out when the same "Boom" can go to your enemy as well, so it gives players a high risk and reward feeling, and I love that. I feel disappointed it was removed from WA at the very least they should have made it an option to turn "ON" or "Off" so players can choose that option on crates, instead of removing it.
I miss the homing airstrikes in Worms 2, and the homing cluster bombs, those were fun weapons to play around with. AFAIK both of them were removed because many complained they were overpowered and required no skill to use. I strongly disagree with this sentiment due to these reasons. Both of them were very uncommon weapons in crates, making the rarity behind them in my opinion justified.
The homing cluster bomb needed to be used at a certain range for it to be useful in a situation, so it depends, even with the homing clusters they were not 100% accurate all the time.
Now the homing airstrike is a whole different story, Yes it was a very accurate weapon and you could easily kill worms with it, however, it was also very rare in crates, making it a unique or uncommon weapon, perfectly justified in my opinion. Especially the fact that super weapons were already included in the game, like the Magic Bullet, The Concrete Donkey, Mike's Carpet Bomb, and Sheep Strike, all those weapons were way stronger than the homing airstrike. So I don't buy the Homing Strike is too OP When super weapons like this exist. The point I'm making is, when someone is trying to determine what's OP and what's not, you also need to take into account how obtainable the weapon to a player is in the first place.
I also enjoyed the clone sheep weapon, that was cool... At least we still get the mad cows...
I also miss the exclusive worm death animation in Worms 2, I wonder why was it replaced, I love to see my worm jump in the air turning blue before exploding, that was always satisfying for me to watch...
I still play Worms to this day, it's so fun...
Fingers crossed a future update gives us more control!
Sorry for necroposting,
did you manage to sort this out?
I was trying to update the game to 3.8.1 today, and I've got the same error. I also tried to find the gfx installer to perform a manual installation, but the only source I could find (ftp.team17.com) seems to be offline.
I see you are a vexillology enthusiast. What country next?i wanted to do all US states one day, but gave up when doing all country flag collections... twice
