Riding the worm


Kyle

Recommended Posts

Did you know that the Fedaykin can actually ride the worm? All you need to do is deploy them somewhere in the sand and once they have attracted a worm, they can ride it. This is very helpful especially when the enemy is attacking because the worm can destroy most or all of the enemies' attack forces in one swipe.

Yup.

#3 Did you know that you can call for multiple worms?

Train a group of fedaykins, spread them out a bit on the sand and make sure there's no rock nearby. Then press 'D' and you should get a worm inmediatly. Depending on the size of the group you could get 8 worms within seconds.

When you deploy a Fedaykin on the sand, that Fedaykin is given a random number of 'ticks' before a worm will emerge. Deploying a higher number of Fedaykin simultaneously will give a higher chance of one of them being assigned a small tick figure until a worm is summoned for that particular Fedayking, meaning you could get at least one worm quite quickly.

However, the more Fedaykin you deploy doesn't necessarily mean you'll get a worm faster. In the worst cases, all the Fedaykin could be given large wait times until a worm emerges. ::) The minimum and maximum times to wait until a Fedaykin calls a worm can be seen from the General section in the Rules.txt

MinWormRideWaitDelay=100 //min time to start wormride

MaxWormRideWaitDelay=2000 //max time to start wormride

Well, saying that those the time to wait lies between these 2 variables, and that there isnt' any other, likely it is a random time between those 2.

For knowing how long a "tick" is. Building a windtrap (with 1 conyard) costs you 240 ticks.

There is a thread in Strategy about wormriding strategies:
