BACKGROUND
From the very dawning of history, castles have provided the backdrop to some of the most dramatic battles of all time. Now it's time for you to take your place in this epic struggle, and pit castle against castle, worm against worm, and catapult against cannon. With mayhem the likes of which have never been seen in a Worms game, Worms Forts: Under Siege! Promises to bring the brand to new heights.

Worms Forts: Under Siege! puts you in command of a crack team of up to four fort-dwelling worms. Set in the cartoon environments that will be very familiar to Worms fans, you direct your four strong worm garrison to quickly construct defenses to maximize your strategic advantage; expand your castle to seize valuable resources and of course, build weapons of mass destruction to destroy your opponents' fortifications!

Test yourself against the single player game by battling through the 20 missions. When you've finished that, take on up to four of your friends in the frenzy of destruction that is Fort vs. Fort mode.

Worms Forts: Under Siege! uniquely combines buildings and siege weapons with the dark and zany humor you have come to expect in the Worms universe, all in true 3D battles. This is a unique strategy game - it's immediate, it's fast and it's also furious! It's a race against time to destroy your opponent first before he destroys you!

FEATURES
* Hot seat play, meaning up to four players can play on one console.
* Online play for the PC and XboxTM Live!
* Game-play mechanics based on the same skill and cunning that made Worms a hit. Judge shot power and trajectory to make your enemies pay the ultimate price for opposing you.
* Massive weapons and massive destruction! Catapults, cannons, giant crossbows, bows and arrows, flaming oil, rocket launchers, artillery fire, air strikes, napalm... even nuclear strikes!
* Build your own castle: ramparts, towers, walls, citadels and keeps. But be careful - different buildings give you different special powers and weapons. Choose poorly and you may find yourself behind in the arms race.
* Deformable 3D fortifications! You want to blow craters in your enemy's castle? Then take aim and do it, and watch it crumble before your very eyes!
* Travel the world and through time by taking on the historically-set single player missions. From Ancient Egypt to the might of the Roman Empire!
* Consider your strategy - do you expand to seize territory and valuable resources, repair damage, or concentrate on upgrading your technology?
* Beat the clock, constructing castle walls and fortifications, taking aim and firing and choosing your strategy as the seconds tick away. Can you handle the pressure?
* Unlockable features as missions are completed, including new weapons, building components, environments and fort styles.

Good review +reps.

One question though, it might be in there, because i have a bad memory , but how do you build things then? Surely it cant be real-time, because it has hot-seat gameplay. So i guess it has a set number of turns to build it then. Cant wait for this one.

Worm's Armageddon was the best Worms game for me. The 3D worms game I didn't like so much because the camera was bad and you couldn't accurately judge distances in 3D.
