"Use appropriate OS directories for user data", please dont force that... make it optional...

and on the same spirit that there was the "worms on windows 95", at least keep compatiblity with Windows XP.

When making a map, you have to go through the hassle of making the background solid 0,0,0 black and having to dither it to 113 colors. It would be very useful if you could make it so you can just import any PNG without having to do that, and having WA do all the dithering and stuff for you. Would also be very useful to make it so you can have a transparent background PNG work instead of solid 0,0,0 black background as well.

Add a water color feature in the map editor so you can change the color of the water. An option to pick a water color from the map would also be very useful (kind of like Windows 10 accent colors how it picks a color from your desktop background.) e.g. so pink map = pink water. Have it RGB values with a color picker. Maybe even have an option to change water color depending on map types. Or even have an option to make the water change to the color of the current team at play.

It could be cool if there was a different type of health crates (for example golden health crates) that would heal your entire team for 10 - 25 health when picked (configurable).

Make hosting easier. Meaning, !wsdb and !wmdb commands could be replaced with gui which will upload from your files the scheme or map you want.

Maybe also, the ability to create your own hosting buddy scheme. Saved. So for example, !savemode <name of game mode>. And the next day you just use !host <name of game mode>.

hi, i have 2 simple suggestions for better playing experience:

water line is a problem when you are standing just in the low limit. is very hard to konw if there is ground or u gonna fall down water. so, water line must to be a single wave o line than let to clearly see terrain. or it mustto apperas traslucid.
the other point is. why don´t you add zoom mouse wheel feature, like WWP or WMD? it, usefull. no more to say, see you

New stockpiling mode option that enables restocking weapons after every turn.

This feature would unlock many new schemes possibilities, especially with multishot (sdet) being part of the game in 3.8 patch.

Currently, there are a few schemes that are impossible to play with a CPU. Can this be solved by making CPU's able to abide by unofficial rules, such as Shopper or even Walk for Weapons if possible?

There are many game schemes that have grown popular and are well-established among the WA players, yet enacting their rules still remains reiiant on informal agreements made between the players, who need to oversee the match and pay attention to whether everyone follows them or not. Having the game engine support for this would be a great feature to implement, and would make the game even more enjoyable.

Maybe it is impossible or Team17 woudln't agree with this idea, but, if company (with Cybershadow) will agree (or it is able to do it in rewritten engine), it'll be fun to play with player, that have team of worms with not the same weapon select, different health, etc.
And I'll guess nobody will agree with this idea, especially Cybershadow with Team17, due to Worms "standards"

*I mean worm options (health, treat time after using or dropping weapon, how long can you move your worms, availability to move your worms, ammo stocking, positioning)

sometimes it happens that you must teleport manually, when map is too big and too many worms. xd

maybe for rope races where you have 10 seconds left and come to a huge 20 seconds climb, you skip a turn so those 10 seconds are not lost

From interview with T17 about WMD as e-sports:
"Maybe we would explore that and maybe we take a leaf out of Team Fortress’ book and have the map symmetrical so everyone gets a fair advantages."
Therefore this suggestion to WA: ability to mirror (one side of a) random map, as to make a map that is identical on both sides.

Could be nice for schemes like elite.. or just to have an easy way of creating a fort-like map out of maps that aren't designed to be.

You should add the ability to upload Maps Mods and Addons to the Steam Workshop
Also it would be great to see Achievements and Steam Trading Cards
(If a game has Trading Cards there is more chance people will buy it)

In WMD the global lobby chat is also accessible in the game lobby. Would be nice to have this in WA as well, so that you can call out a buddy who's left behind in #AnythingGoes without needing to exit the game lobby or switch to snooper. And also to advertise open spaces when nobody joins up.
