If there's difficulty in getting everyone back online, an option to play a turn offline, and send the replay to a server, for the next turn to be played.
This would allow a player to make many attempts before selecting the best turn to send. That could be a good thing, allowing 'postal' play.
Also, maybe permit players who didn't start the game to take over teams, to make things easier.

This should be easy to add in the new scheme format.

lnsanozuke, Archos: That's fine. I respect your opinions regarding this, and I usually support adding more flexibility to the game.
There are consequences with this decision, that go beyond choice. If a player forgot to check if it's turned on, collecting a crate could cost him the game, that's what I'm concerned about. But if everyone knows this option's on, go for it.

I wouldn't mind health crates that occasionally could be booby trapped to do damage, but not explode or end a turn. The crate would always keep the worm with a minimum of 1hp.

Team17 removed booby traps from W:A because it disrupts the gameplay, turning the game more into pot luck. And T17 kept getting them while playing Worms2 online.
There would have to be a larger incentive to collect crates, such as better weapons more frequently, to make it worthwhile.

Many people seem to like this pretty “random” idea :) Anyway, this should be easy to add in the new scheme format.

There is potentially more depth when thinking about whether to collect a health crate, if you don't know how much health it contains. There could be an element of strategy, if the amount inside were already known before collecting it, making a choice between two health crates left and right, for example.

Actually scrap that, just select the amount as usual, and add an option for health crates to randomly have between 1hp to [amount].

Instead of making it configurable in every conceivable way, how about we agree on some options which would be useful the most? Everyone seems to agree that having the screen follow invisible worms can be bad… what else?

pisto: Just reduce/remove your votes from old/planned ideas, that way the fresh ones come to the top.

Transferring control “live” will probably be untrivial. We’ll probably make taking over someone’s teams possible with the resume-from-replay feature ( http://feedback.worms2d.info/pages/general/suggestions/72462 ).
Update: this is planned for 4.0, along with being able to reconnect to the game and get back control over your surrendered team.

A minor query: If a player's disconnected during a turn, how feasible would it be to transfer control to the teammate to complete the turn?
@ Malevol3nt: Good point, I hadn't thought of that. Unless an external AI can be programmed to adapt to game types, which would require considerable time and effort, then switching players is the best option.

Perhaps if one side has 2 teams of 4 worms, for example, then it becomes 1 team of 8 worms, that both players can control.
Or, allow a CPU player to take control, which is a popular choice in many online games.

Damage 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.

I think the best option would be to show the power level when needed, for example pressing and holding a key to switch between number of weapons and power levels.
<a href="http://maz.me.uk/temp/worms/wep_power.png">Concept</a>I suggest the levels be displayed in yellow, to distinguish between the two.

This will probably go in together with some scripting or other customization (e.g. support for mission files as schemes)

Perhaps to keep a minimum number of mines on the terrain, spawning at the start of a turn when it drops below a certain number.
The WKB includes a possible implementation of this for you to improve/discuss:
