Mini Map
Let's face it: The fact that we cannot see the whole map can be annoying at times. It's even worse for lower resolution monitors but even on a 1600x900 monitor you cannot always see the whole map.
Here is my idea:
Let's just have the option (switch it ingame with a hotkey, of course) to show a mini-map.
This mini-map can display many informations, but the most important is of course the places of the worms which could be indicated with a circle in the team color or something similar.I hope you can add this feature and wish you…

Add weapon power settings to in-game weapon panel
Sometimes it's not easy to memorize your host's weird weapon power preferences. It would be useful if these settings could be seen in-game too, not only in the lobby.
Addiotionally, maybe instead of showing the "star-power", the amount of maximum damage could be displayed (or one projectile's damage for multi-projectile weapons like cluster, air strike, etc.)
13 votesDamage doesn’t mean anything for some weapons… and most of the time the maximum theoretical damage (considering the RNG may generate any sequence of numbers) isn’t anywhere near the maximum practical damage.
Also, I’d like to see an idea / concept design of how would power levels would be displayed.
Update: this idea should be mostly obsoleted by our plans for 4.0 to allow viewing the scheme settings during the game, and the scheme comparator in the game lobby.

Weapon fuse + bounce value
How about a little display (maybe next to the timer area) to show the current weapon fuse for nades (1..5) and also a bounce value (+-).
It would be really helpful in hysteria games where you only have 1 second of reaction time, so knowing what your nades are set to can be beneficial. It could also help in last second calls in wxw games.

Display local name for custom schemes present on local PC
The game should scan the scheme folder and calculate hashes for existing schemes. When joining someone's game and the host sends a scheme that is present on the local PC, the game should display the local file name.

Allow the weapon box to remain visible during turns, and whilst scrolling around the map.
In most schemes we already know which weapons are available during turns, so this isn't really an important issue.
There are now however a large number of players playing the Rubberworm scheme "Kaos", it has its own league and community. During a game of Kaos players will collect many weapons from crates, and are able to use as many weapons as they like during their turn. With the inclusion of "real time worms" in 4.0, I feel this feature would be very useful for that too.
The problem is that players need to stop moving in order to view their…

W:Rev style health bars
A health bar like in Worms:Revolution, where it is split up so you can see the health of each worm and how much worms each team has at quick glance.

identify which team belongs to which player
On the hosting menu, you can't tell which of the teams belongs to which of the joined player. Or vice versa, if you wan't to kick a player that hasn't added his team yet, you have to take a guess. Unfortunatly you often kick the wrong player...
If there was some come kind of connection between a playername and his team (number, color or name brackets e.g.) things would be much more comfortable.
5 votesThe colour of the team names matches the colour of the player.

(Custom) emoticons in chat
Think it would be nice to have smiley's in the ingame chat. Preferably custom smileys @ the size of i.e. the team (flag) visual. And a set of default ones wich can be designed (by me).

Full log
It would be great to have a everything been logged.
Lobby activity, map changes, etc.
For example i really need to see what map changes my opponent did.
If hoster changes a game parameters (terrain type, map, complexity) i want to see that in a game log after the game.
Because now its impossible to track if hoster abuses his power to change game parameters to his advantage on my move.5 votes -
Larger Chat Font
I'm using a 17" wide screen laptop display with the game resolution set at 1280x720. The chat font size is very small and I need to get really close to read it. Can we have an option to increase the font size? The LargerFonts registry setting doesn't apply to chat, and makes the other fonts too large on my screen, so a separate option would be great.

Easily viewable weapon settings in game lobby
Instead of having to click a button, and cycle through the different weapon settings, I suggest to have an image similar to the <in-game right-click menu> within the game lobby.
-positioned maybe on the right side of chat, making the chat box smaller
-weapons with no ammo greyed out/not visible.
-weapon power indicated by size of weapon (or see below)
-weapon quantity indicated by a small "x1" or "x2", etc....
-crate setting indicated by a small stack to the (left) side of the weapon image.
-Maybe for weapon power, indicated in a similar way to crate, but with (red) boxes…4 votes -
"Cancel" button on a "Please wait... working..." window.
Sometimes those windows won't go away for a very long time and you can't either minimize game or close it with Alt-F4. It's not nice to press Ctrl-Alt-Del, launch Task Manager and terminate WA process all those times.

Correct some spanish translations like "Bazoka", "Paracaías".
"Bazoka" and "Paracaías" as they appear in the upper part of the screen when you pick up or select them, should be translated to "Bazooka" or "Bazuca" and "Paracaídas" like they appear in the weapon selection tab.

Emulate RMB click by pressing "Context menu" key
Tiny improvement you could add before releasing new beta. Pressing "context menu" key would show wep menu ingame, so player will see available weps w/o having his hand off keyboard. Could be very useful in fast-paced gamemodes.

Displaying a message when a screenshot is taken
This is what Starcraft has done:
http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/4149/scscrnshot021910130827.pngA text message can be shown AFTER the screenshot is taken and saved successfully.
Of course, the message should be in the chat box. If there's no chat box (i.e. in the main menu), then no message will be shown.3 votes -
"Restart Round" in Esc menu for offline matches
-For missions/training/single/multiplayer
-Quicker than quitting/"draw round" and starting again
-should have "yes/no" confirmation
-Creates seperate replay fileI can see it being mainly useful for missions, where you aren't pleased with your current standing and just want to restart.

Make the cursor blinking equal to the system setting
IIRC the previous version 3.6.29.0 had the cursor blink rate follow the system setting, but the latest one 3.6.31.0 blinks even though on my system the cursor blink rate is set to None.

Elapsed turns display
Seeing how many turns have passed next to the total time could be useful. Maybe sudden death could then be activated after a certain number of turns.

Quick Lists for Themes and Super Weapons
When I a edit a level, I like to pick a theme for it, but to normally find the one I want it takes a lot of pointless cycling. Is there anyway a list format could be implemented as to find the theme I want very quickly from the level editor?
List format would also benefit in the team editor when you are picking your super weapon.3 votes
