Worms World Party or Armageddon

[detlik]

Hi everybody,
I own both games (unfortunately not the new version of armageddon) and my question is which is better armageddon or world party? And where could I purchase new version of armageddon, or could I somehow upgrade mine from CDProject (eXtra klasika). Dont say retail store please because I live in Czech Republic and its nowhere to be found. And how can I add new stuff to armageddon (I head its possible)?

Does Armageddon have same features as world party? If I already have armageddon from CDProject (Extra Klasika) can I get those features from ,,new edition´´? If not where could I purchase digital download of new edition? (I live in czech republic so retail from Team 17 store isnt option. Which would you personally say is better this or WP? Are there mods for armageddon?

With the recent beta patches, Worms Armageddon outstrips World Party by miles. Armageddon will only get better, so there's really no question between the two.

As for downloads, there are no legal editions of Worms Armageddon for download which work with beta patches. Any site claiming otherwise is lying. The Team17 store will ship to the Czech Republic: https://secure.team17.com/help.html?area=international

And it's worth pointing out that "New Edition" is a pirated edition. Don't use it.

Shame I was hoping there will be digital shop because I dont want to wait for them to ship it :( btw if new edition isnt something extra I think my will work just fine (It should been normal version)

As mentioned by SilPho, "New Edition" is an (illegal) pirate edition of W:A, containing a cracked version of 3.6.28.0. It cannot be updated, and you're likely to run into various problems by using it. Any website selling it is a scam, none of your money will reach Team17.

And if I have CD version (where is probably version 1.0) from CDProject can I update it? (Also are there mods for armageddon that would add forts like they are in WP?)

And if I have CD version (where is probably version 1.0) from CDProject can I update it?Yep, it should work fine. (Also are there mods for armageddon that would add forts like they are in WP?)Well, you can play forts (http://worms2d.info/Fort) in W:A as well, you'd just have to choose the map and place your worms yourself.

Is beta patch safe or should I download only the normal patch?

[CyberShadow]

The two latest betas are better in all practical regards than 3.0.

Armageddon for sure. Also, the beta patches are the only way to play (especially on modern operating systems). Updated features, greater operating system support, a much higher playerbase... well worth grabbing.

Installed worms armageddon with latest patch (the 3.6.29) but I still cant see those rules that are in WP like underwater sheep or endless rope or forts for example. And colors look really bad :(. (First time trying to run it on windows 7 64bit)

Try harder next time.

WormPot isn't in W:A, but some of its options are still available as unlockable scheme options.

See here (http://forum.team17.co.uk/showthread.php?t=41652) for a fix for the colour problems.

W:A is excellent for multiplayer gaming, and WWP is excellent for singleplayer/campaign gaming.
They both have their goodies, that's my opinion. Though it's up to you

Regarding W:A vs. WWP, I put together this article (based on an older write-up by Run): http://worms2d.info/WA_vs_WWP
