    What does MwC stand for?
    Well, MwC stands for Minesweepers Worms Corps. We choose this name because when playing a game of worms, me (Flash) kept landing on mines and cleared the whole scape from mines as I kept making mistakes by landing on them I also managed to die at the same time... So thats why we called it Minesweepers Worms Corps because of my stupid mistakes.



    How do you make flags and graves work in your games?
    First, you can make a flag or download one. When your flag or grave is finished, put it into the worms directory c:\team17\wormsarmageddon\user\flags (default) or "user\graves" depending which one your doing. When you have pasted that file into the folder, right click and click the option properties. Check that the files properties are unchecked from "archive" and checked on "read only". If you have anymore problems, please look at te question, "How do you make flags and graves?"



    How do you make flags and graves?
    First open MS paint (standard with windows) Set your canvas size to 20x17pixels for flags or 24x32pixels for graves. When you have chosen to do a flag or grave, draw until your happy with your work and save it in the "user\flags" or "user\graves" Make sure you save it in 256 colour format. Once you've done that, go to the file in the directory and right click and click the option properties. Check that the files properties are unchecked from "archive" and checked on "read only". This should make the file work in the game when you go to select it in the options.



    How do I set water drops?
    First of all water drops are used in propers, the water drop is when a weapon hits the floor and sinks. To set a water drop you have to get the water at the right level.
    First you have to line up the water... You should put your cursor just above the bottom line of the water-level chart. eg:

        Vahagn has designed an animated .gif file displaying approximately what the result should look like:
    Thanks to Vahagn (SFX clan) for the images.



    How do I make maps?
    Many people have asked me this question... at the moment i cant tell you much, but Im writing a txt document on "How to make maps." It should be able soon to download. Keep checking back to find out if its ready soon.



    What does cl2k and wacl mean?
    These are leagues. Clan-league-2000 and Worms-Armageddon-Clan-league are both leagues for clans and keen wormers. They were setup after the ranking setup in WA was taken away. Here are the links:

    http://www.cl2k.org CL2K

    A very popular worms league, with many people registered in the league already, it makes a good place to start. It also has a league for clans, people who like T17 and BnG leagues too. A well rounded league for worms.
    (Also has league for WWP)


    http://wa-forum.com WA-FORUM

    This is another league for clans who want to battle other clans. With good forums to post wins and losses its not a bad league. It also has leagues for WWP. Check it out.




    What is worms?
    For those people who are new to this, or have stumbled across the website by accident and is wonder what the heck worms is well it goes a bit like this.... Worms is a series a games developed by team17 who owns the rights to make worms. At the moment there have been 6 releases of worms over the past years. The most popular and probably the better version out of the series of worms is Worms Armageddon. Worms is a simple 2'd game which you start off at the beggining of a game with a certain amount of health, your oppenent trys to kill you by trying to make your health reach 0. The game is turned based so it can be slow at time, but can be fast as there is different settings at which you can change what the atmosphere can be like. Obviously some people can find this frustrating and tedious playin by themselfs or against the computer but the action really takes place when you play on the net. As for fun, many people have made clan which people can join which the can take part in leagues for fun, but sometimes it can be very competitive but mostly we play for fun and enjoy talking to others =Þ Its a great way to have fun, i suggest you find a review on the game and make your minds about it from their. Worms is really just one big community on the net and is great fun with alot of depth. So if you think you like that stuff then you'll definately get into worms. *Highly recommended*
