==================
1.0 > Introduction <
==================
Good morning readers! Raining Metal is high speed, low drag! I decided to make
this guide because no other series is like this game, which I'm interested in.
This game doesn't take itself too seriously, with all the animal explosives and
such. Worms Armageddon was originally to be an expansion for Worms 2, but then
Team 17 and Micro Prose decided to make it independent. What a smart choice
that was! Remember: This isn't a guide, IT'S AN ADVENTURE!
--------------------

Version 0.95
Some people have contributed to some additions to this Guide, however,
everything explained below is still needed.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 0.90
I could use some additional information on the mapmaker and wormnet, as well as
some names for the enemies in Deathmatch mode.

2.2 > Weapons <
-------------
Here's the smash inventory! Note that the crate stats is on intermediate mode.
*********
*Bazooka*
*********
Rate of Fire: Charge.
Power: Average.
Accuracy: Medium.
Usage: Very High.
Range: Medium.
Weight: Medium
Crate: None.
Notes: Affected by the wind, can skim across water for a limited time.
The most versitale weapon in this game, this weapon can do almost anything. Use
the wind for the best effects.
****************
*Homing Missile*
****************
Rate of Fire: Charge.
Power: Average.
Accuracy: High.
Usage: Medium.
Range: Short.
Weight: Light.
Crate: Low.
Notes: Can go underwater. Can be charged up.
The missile requires a straing and direct path, because it does not guarantee a
safe trip. Only rarely should this weapon be tested underwater.
********
*Mortar*
********
Rate of Fire: Launch.
Power: Average.
Accuracy: Low.
Usage: Low.
Range: Very Long.
Crate: Low.
Notes: When blown up, shrapnel comes out the opposite direction.
Not many players use this weapon because it is hard to control. The benefit of
using this is that it can fire at a long distance. Experts find this weapon
useful.
****************
*Homing Pigieon*
****************
Rate of Fire: Launch.
Power: High.
Accuracy: High.
Usage: High.
Range: Medium.
Weight: Light.
Crate: Medium.
Notes: Avoids contact with land unless targeted.
The pigeon has a natural brain, so it doesn't go suicide on an undesignated
part of the earth. The only drawback is that unlike the missile, it cannot
breathe below sea level. Very easy to use, and good for beginners.
****************
*Sheep Launcher*
****************
Rate of Fire: Launch.
Power: High.
Accuracy: High.
Usage: Low.
Range: Long.
Weight: Light.
Crate: Medium.
Notes: Similar to the regular sheep (see below).
The sheep with the motor cycle helmet can be launched at first and then behaves
like the regular sheep. Keep in mind that the first launch should be for the
long gaps if needed. The reason to choose this over the super sheep as a
special weapon is in caverns, where the super sheep would be cramped and would
be of limited use. Sheep don't blow up when colliding with terrain when
launched.
*********
*Grenade*
*********
Rate of Fire: Throw.
Power: Medium.
Accuracy: Medium.
Usage: High.
Range: Medium.
Weight: Medium.
Crate: None.
Notes: Fuse can be changed along with bounce.
The simple grenade can used as an alternative to the bazooka, in case if the
wind is blowing against the worm. Make use of the bounce and fuse options. Very
basic and simple.
**************
*Cluster Bomb*
**************
Rate of Fire: Throw.
Power: Medium
Accuracy: Medium.
Usage: Medium.
Range: Medium.
Weight: Medium.
Crate: Medium.
Notes: Fuse can be changed along with bounce. When blown up, shrapnel comes
from above.
Similar to the grenade, but weaker at the first strike. Better to use on
grouped enemies as well as the ones in pits.
*************
*Banana Bomb*
*************
Rate of Fire: Throw.
Power: Very High.
Accuracy: Medium.
Usage: Medium.
Range: Medium.
Weight: Medium.
Crate: Low.
Notes: Really bouncy. When blown up, bananas come from the explosion.
Like the cluster bomb, but a LOT deadlier! Use this on well-grouped enemies.
Can cause lots of damage, and should be spared for the oportune moment.
************
*Battle Axe*
************
Rate of Fire: Single.
Power: Varies.
Accuracy: Confident.
Usage: Medium.
Range: Melee.
Weight: N/A.

Range: High.

*********
Rate of Fire: Semi-Automatic.
Power: Low.
Accuracy: High.
Usage: Low.
Range: Medium.

Accuracy: High.

------------
2.4 > Crates <
------------
There's bound to be a crate dropping here and there. There's three types of
them:
Weapon Crates give the team additional weapons, some coming in groups. Crate
Showers spawn six crates in one turn.
Utility Crates give the team tools to use in the battlefield. They enhance
weapons or give the team a special ability.
Health Crates give the shopper some health. The amount of health depends on the
settings for the game.
---------------------
2.5 > The Worms Team! <
---------------------
Want to customize a team? Here's how:
Names: Here, there's a team name along with eight worm names. Click the ? to
get a random name.
Stats: This makes the team available to human hands, or controlled by CPU. The
higher the number, the more intellegent.
Grave: When a worm dies, he always leaves a grave behind, unless drowned. There
are six animated graves, and a lot of still graves.
Special Weapon: In deathmatch and in some settings for multi-player, there will
be a special weapon available in the inventory. Some have special settings.
Voice: There are many languages here, as well as novelty voices. Most are very
squeaky and high pitched.
Anthem: At the end of the round, the winning team's anthem plays. There's some
serious ones, like America's, and goofy ones, like the Funny-Machine.
Flag: Beside the total health for the team in the game, there's a flag. The
serious ones are at the top, the funny ones at the bottom.
--------------------
2.6 > Unique Tactics <
--------------------
The human can do a lot more than the CPU. Here's why:
-The CPU teams usually use the bazooka, the shotgun, grenades, mines, dynamite,
the fire punch, air strikes, and teleport. The human can do a lot more than
that!
-Careful planning is vital to some missions and deathmatches.
-Remember that it's easy to drown an enemy than to beat him to a pulp.
-Girders and arrows change the terrain immensly.
-The ninja rope is the grail of this game. Use it well.
====================
3.0 > Training Guide <
====================
Here's the guide for basic training, as well as for the extra challenges.
--------------------
3.1 > Basic Training <
--------------------
This covers all three stages in Basic Training.
------
Bronze
------
Grenade Skills Grade 1: Here, the fuse time is useful. Both targets can be
taken out with one second on the fuse.
Shotgun Skills: This is easy. Simply fire at the targets from the worm's
position.
Bazooka Skills Grade 1: The first target should be no problem. The second
requires the guidance of the wind. Aiming upward should do the trick.
------
Silver
------
Rope Skills Grade 1: In Single-player, the rope can be used like Tarzan's vine
or Spider-man's web rope for an infinite amount of times. Do this to the girder
above, collecting the crate on the way, and reach the target. Then beat up the
flashing circle.
Grenade Skills Grade 2: Do the same thing, except that the final target needs
more than one second. Three or two will do it.
Using The Firepunch: First of all, backflip underneath the crate and use the
punch to collect it. This will give the team twice as more punches, allowing
the worm to destroy both targets.
----
Gold
----
Rope Skills Grade 2: Go left and collect the crate. Then go above the target
and drop the dynamite, getting out of the way.
Bazooka Skills 2: First off, there really WAS a bouncing bomb in the British
arsenal. Shoot both targets here, and take down the one on the left. Fire the
rocket across the water to skim it across, taking the target down.
Grenade Skills 3: Take down the first three targets likewise from Grade 2. Fire
the grenade so that it just barely misses the girders above to hit the fourth
target (four seconds). Then just aim upward with a well timed explosive to get
the final target.
------------------------
3.2 > Super Sheep Racing <
------------------------
Level: Mars.
Score:
-Gold: 3:30.
-Silver: 2:30
-Bronze: 1:30
Reward: Aqua Sheep Enabled.
Here, the worm MUST have good skills with the super sheep. He must collect the
crates to increase the time allowed to spend. There's a pattern for the sheep
to follow. Memorize this so that a record can be obtained. There's also a crate
that spawns at the farthest point at the last tower (the red one). Crash the
sheep so that the worm can make another one and save off a few seconds. Oh, and
remember: Don't let the worm get killed by the sheep!
-----------------
3.3 > Rifle Range <
-----------------
Level: Cars.
Score:
-Gold: 2:30.
-Silver: 2:00.
-Bronze: 1:30.
Reward: Stronger Shotgun.
This is tough. The worm starts on the tip of the tallest car. He is surrounded
by landmines. The best way to do this, obviously, is to shoot the targets from
his starting point. He CAN move, but he should only move if necessary. Targets
spawn at two different sides. Precision with a rifle is recommended for this
challenge.
------------------
3.4 > Crazy Crates <
------------------
Level: Horny.
Score:
-Gold: 4:30.
-Silver: 3:00.
-Bronze: 1:30.
Reward: Crates Containing Sheep Only.
Here, the worm must rope across the cavern to get to crates, increasing the
time he can spare. Repeat swinging of the rope is the best, and maybe, the only
way to do this correctly. Keep swinging and collecting those crates! If the
worm touches the ceiling or the floor when he swings in the air without a rope,
he will loose his momentum on the rope swinging and will waste some seconds!
---------------------
3.5 > Artillery Range <
---------------------
Level: Village.
Score:
-Gold: 3:30.
-Silver: 2:30.
-Bronze: 1:30.
Reward: Stronger Grenades.
This is, in my opinion, the hardest challenge here. Timing the fuse will save
seconds, as does skill with throwing, and the bounce options. Also, the worm
cannot move.
----------------
3.6 > Euthanasia <
----------------
Level: New York (unplayable).
Score:
-Gold: 2:30.
-Silver: 2:00.
-Bronze: 1:30.
Reward: Stronger Longbow.
Here, it gets easier. Unlike the other exercises, this includes various weapons
to play with. Most of the senior citizens are in good range of the bazooka, but
some are better dealt with grenades or cluster bombs, and one spot requires a
homing missile or an airstrike! The one at the far left CAN be taken out with
the RPG, but it needs practise.
===================
4.0 > Mission Guide <
===================
Here are all the missions, where a certain strategy must be used. Good
thinking, some experementing, and guides are essential to completing them.
========================
4.100 > Amateur Missions <
========================
These are available when a bronze medal is acchived
------------------------
4.111 > Pumpkin Problems <
------------------------
Level: Pumpkins.
Reward: None.
Difficulty: Easy.
Notes: None.
Briefing:
Small Talk:
-Turn 1: Rope up the pumpkins and knock the bad guy into the minefield with the
bat.
-Turn 2: Collect the Crate.
The Worm starts out on the left side of the pumpin patch. Use the rope,
avoiding the guards, and knock the artillery with the bat into the minefield,
where he will detonate the mines (hopefully, all of them), and die. If the hole
isn't big enough or isn't there, use the shotgun or something to get through.
Then collect the crate. The enemies are sitting ducks here.
-------------------------------
4.112 > Operation Market Garden <
-------------------------------
Level: Flowers.
Reward: None.
Difficulty: Easy.
Notes: None.
Briefing:
Small Talk:
-For Every Turn: Throw grenades into the pit.
Will skill on grenades, this should be a breeze. Keep throwing grenades into
the enemy position. There are two girders to use, if needed to get to the tip
of the flowers. If the worms can make it over the top, they can also get up
close. The falls aren't lethal.
----------------------------------
4.121 > All Quient In The Library? <
----------------------------------
Level: Books.
Reward: None.
Difficulty: Medium.
Notes: Nuclear blast at end of turn 6.
Briefing:
Small Talk:
-Turn 1: Grab the crate and use the bazooka to blast the grenadier on top of
the bo
