I've managed to unlock a fair bit of the maps, but i can't get "D-Day". I always beat the scenario, so what extra do i need to do to get the level?

you must get gold on it to get it playable in multiplayer

So my original question, pretty much, remains. What's the standard for getting the gold?

Do it quick. Collect the crates for jetpacks and use them to climb the cliff.

I think he wants a time limit to aim for. Personally I dont know it though :( Sorry

Not sure myself. Don't think you can afford to lose any worms though.

I finally did make gold, and surprisingly it was the ONLY time i suffered any casualties. By turn three, however, the baddies had three tombstones up on that cliff. I only needed a single jetpack to finish things off. Sheer luck, though. I surely couldn't pull it off again like that... As to the original question, i forgot to check the time on that last turn. I think it was ~ 6 minutes, though.

Okeh, here we go again. On this mission i can regularly finish in ~ 4 minutes, but i only get the Silver Cup. How much more time do i need to shave off?

Looking at the walkthrough thread (which is stickied at the top of this subforum and is a wonderful resource ;)), you probably need to use two turns (with the same worm) to get you over to the crate. You will need to skip goes with your other worms. Here's a nice picture showing you the best route: http://starworms.blamethepixel.com/cratebritain.jpg

Also, check out my lovely walkthrough on http://www.blamethepixel.com/starworms/walkthroughs.php

I *am* following the walkthrough. Turn 1: worm # 1 jumps/crawls to end of 1st bridge [ignoring girder crate], freezes with 10 seconds remaining on the clock. Turn 2: Through sheer force of will, i was finally able to restrain the killer instinct and just skip go on worm #2. Turn 3: worm # 1 collects health crate [not necessary, but i'm passing through there, anyway] and jumps/crawls to Big Island. I run out of time next to Boggy Pete. Turn 4: Skip go again for worm #2. Turn 5: worm #1 jumps/crawls to jetpack. Usually i get there with insufficient time to fly to the goal, so i end up skipping the rest of the turn. I did however, 1 time make it to the goal on this turn; still got silver though! Turn 6: worm #2 makes up for his earlier lack of activity by flying in to collect the goal and the silver. If any part of these 1st turns deviates from the walkthrough, i'd love to know where i've gone wrong... So back to my question, does nobody know if i'm just a few seconds away from the gold, or a whole minute? I consistently finish between 4 to 5 minutes total.

Sorry - it's so long since I played that mission, I can't remember how quick you need to do it in - or whether I got a gold for it :(

I seem to remember there was a lot of jumping involved - jumping is marginally quicker than walking.

Hopefully someone else could shed some light on this :)

Ok, I'm going to do Mission 1 to see how it goes.

*fires up W3D*

Havn't played in a long time

1.
Move worm 1 past minefield to bottom of hill. Randomly threw grenade up in a failed attempt to hit a worm

2.
Moved worm 2 past mines andf jumped onto tank. Failed to hit targets.

3.
Moved worm 3 forward past mines and collected health crate. Threw grenade at Grunt 23-damage.

4.
Collected crate (4 jetpacks) with worm 4. Flew up cliff. Shotguned Fritz into Heinz. Fritz killed. Heinz reduced to 13 health.

5. Flew worm 1 up cliff. Shotguned Heinz and Grunt (killed both)

6. Worm 2, Homing Missile against last enemy worm (Shutze) - reduced to 8 health (he lived somehow)

7. Worm 3 used Airstrike - game over - victory.

Gold


So what mission are you talking about now?

Mission 2

1. Move worm forward as fast as possible and collected crate
2. Worm 2 uses jetpack to get crate

The camera makes it awkward, but it is possible.

edit: Completed on 3rd go with 3 seconds to spair on the end of Worm 1's turn. Crate collected with Worm 2.

Lots of jumping required. Remember, a forward jump goes further than a double jump an faster than walking. I double jump is often not needed either (eg, the fences can be jumped with a normal jump).

I managed even to get gold on Crate Britain with this method:
1. Go as fast as I can, with lots of large humps. I never reached the island with Jet Pack in this turn, by the way.
2. If Boggy Pete does not kill my second worm with a Cluster Bomb, I will jump in the water! (suicides are sometimes useful, when you want to get gold)
3. Grab the Jet Pack and go directly to the island with the final crate. Mission over, gold award.

yeah yeah i know noones posted since 06, but screw it, im bored,
worm 1:RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN you don't always have to get there in one try.
worm 2:kill random enemy (prefered boggy Pete, he's an a hole(can't steal my veggies))
worm 1: finish level!
if any new people look at this, i hope it was helpful
