Hi there, I spent about 5 months researching and compiling this guide, I hope it helps you win games.
Try to kill the other worms. But if you can't, then spend time exploring the scenery.
Never use your rope push a mine onto another player. It's considered rude, crude, and lewd conduct.
Discuss strategies and tactics in the chat window with other players.
Zoom in and out with your sniper rifle on other players, and then fire when there is 1 second left.
When you blow up a barrel, fart at exactly the same time for maximum effect (the damage actually goes up in the game, it's been scientifically tested).
Choose not to play offensively or defensively. Instead try staying out in the open and doing unconventional things such as circling the mine factory. Confusion is your greatest weapon.
Finallly, take it easy on your fellow players. We are all lowly worms after all.
Please feel free to send your game-winning strategies and tactics. If I get them soon I will publish them in my upcoming book (available only at EBWorms).

I agree only with 1st advice. About other I think so: here isn't any sense!
*Please, don't take offence, AceMcCloud, OK? ;)*

All I can say is that since I started playing using these strategies, my victory rate has gone up. When playing online, I used to win about 1 out of 25 games. Now I win 1 out of every 18 games!

You forgot this one thing:
Using your own teams is a sign of great non-noobishness, people using that "Groovy people" team are totally noobs.
Actually, 90% of the time I play online I fight goddamn hippies.

I really hate it when people use the crappy teams that come with the game. I don't know why, it just really gets on my wick. How hard is it to just create a team? After all, it's much more fun to take down a homemade, original team than it is to blow Worm 1 into the water for the 65 millionth time. More personal.:cool:

I've deleted all the default teams and put my own AI and generic human teams in.
I did this because I was bored.

So did I, but only because I ran out of space left for more teams.
I made 3 of each type of difficulty level.

I did too. But I also overloaded custom weapons.

I wouldn't exactly call that tactical. Surely tactics dictates finding the best way to maximise damage to the enemy and minimise damage to yourself. Rope-mining's rather handy for that.

You forgot that:
-Don't use weapons. Violence is pointless.

YOU PHAIl.
Actually, there is nothing about this topic that is serious. Except for you. UR OWT UV STILE LAWL!!!!!!!!!11
And violence is pointful when you attend a tree hugging party with a chainsaw. Did those trees deserve to contract AIDS from those hippies?

you could use a rope and drag all barrels to your target worm, and then use the tail nail hammer to nail that worm there... or you can just hammer one of those crates and watch both of you fly
or kill in annoying ways such as standing on top of a worm, and then aim all the way up with starburst..... once you think you're high enough, turn back down and hold Q or E to do a death spiral

1-Use Atomic Bomb only when you have lots and lots of health, more than your enemy, but the enemy always haves much health (Example: you have 450 health and your enemy 250 :) ) and the enemy can be the first on having 1 point of health!
2-When your rival uses Bubble Trouble, put mines around them!

There isn't Atomic Bomb in W4M...
Do you have this game? :D

You can make one by tweaking some files, in order to get a team weapon that destroys the whole map . :)

haha the bubble trouble idea sounds interesting
if only you can put more than one mine in a turn
any more irritating ideas?, besides the atomic bomb which i do not quite fully understand
i've got one but i havent really tested it more than once... only tried it at the construction map (the first on the list) forgot its name:
it takes about 2 or 3 floods to fully sink the floor of the map
before you do the last flood, stand on top of your enemy worm's head, and he will drown first.
While his body floats face down, ull be able to stand on him with the usual worm grin; until his body explodes and you drown too
