Hey all. Been awhile since last visit but since the game is near launch i have a few questions.
1. Anyone know why its expensive? These games usually are in the low price range like under a tenner usually.
2. The min spec card says gf4, so im guessing its dx9 not 10 or 11 as for 2d games i reckon them techs would show some wonderful effects.
3. Antiantilising, will it have it as i know i hated the jaggies on the water in WA.
4. Can you play skirmish vs cpu if so does this new game have shopper as a default gameplay mode if so can the ai play a decent game of shopper in this?
5. Modding. Soundpacks, graves, schemes, maps (png). Whats the deal with these? I hope these are in as default worm stuff isnt really my thing.
6. MP, will this allow for people to host their own private games as i dont play with random people just 1 regular friend in WA and we like to host our own games and play shopper all the time and on the few occasions we do invite 2 others for some 2v2 shopper gameplay.
7. The resolution. Does it go up to 1920x1080p as i cant play shopper with such a zoomed in default res. I also seen that ws is available does this scale the hud correctly so its nice and small when using a 24in tft at 1080p?
8. Maps, can we do like WA and make our own maps in photoshop and export in png so the game can use em? And will WA png maps be able to import cleanly into WR?

1. Anyone know why its expensive? These games usually are in the low price range like under a tenner usually. When was the last time there was a 2D worms game for the PC? 10 years ago? I think the economy has changed a fair bit since then...
2. The min spec card says gf4, so im guessing its dx9 not 10 or 11 as for 2d games i reckon them techs would show some wonderful effects.I doubt it, most of the new effects are aimed at 3D. Yes this is a 3D game played from 2D perspective and thats just it, you'd lose any special effects from the perspective.
3. Anti-aliasing, will it have it as i know i hated the jaggies on the water in WA.-.-
4. Can you play skirmish vs cpu if so does this new game have shopper as a default gameplay mode if so can the ai play a decent game of shopper in this?I doubt they would remove computer players, question is can CPU players be added to online games and can CPU players use the rope effectively?
5. Modding. Soundpacks, graves, schemes, maps (png). Whats the deal with these? I hope these are in as default worm stuff isnt really my thing.PNG map importing is in the game, not sure about the rest.
6. MP, will this allow for people to host their own private games as i dont play with random people just 1 regular friend in WA and we like to host our own games and play shopper all the time and on the few occasions we do invite 2 others for some 2v2 shopper gameplay.I doubt they would exclude the ability to host password protected games.
7. The resolution. Does it go up to 1920x1080p as i cant play shopper with such a zoomed in default res. I also seen that ws is available does this scale the hud correctly so its nice and small when using a 24in tft at 1080p?I'm sure it would have support for one of the most common native resolutions for LCD screens and what do you mean by small HUD? No scaling at all? because that would suck.
8. Maps, can we do like WA and make our own maps in photoshop and export in png so the game can use em?Yes, you can.

I would like to ask you a thing about the first state you made: where are you from? Because Steam made a different campaign price even for different parts of Europe

If twenty bucks are too expensive for you then just don't buy it...
3. Antiantilising, will it have it as i know i hated the jaggies on the water in WA.
This would be important to me too: beta and current screenshots didn't show antialiasing, does anybody know the answer?
4. Can you play skirmish vs cpu if so does this new game have shopper as a default gameplay mode if so can the ai play a decent game of shopper in this?
From what I tested: No, at least not properly. For some reason AI players don't care for crates unless they use a tool or in their retreat time. So yes: AI players are able to use ninja rope and collect crates, but they do it approximately only every second or third turn. Additionally, you should play in a cave because they can't use ropes in an open map.
5. Modding. Soundpacks, graves, schemes, maps (png). Whats the deal with these? I hope these are in as default worm stuff isnt really my thing.
Currently only maps, sorry.
7. The resolution. Does it go up to 1920x1080p as i cant play shopper with such a zoomed in default res. I also seen that ws is available does this scale the hud correctly so its nice and small when using a 24in tft at 1080p
It features a bunch of resolutions to choose from, also 1920x1080p as far as I remember.
