Worms Forts: Under Siege is a Worms artillery game, which is a subgenre of strategy game[1]. It was designed by Team 17. Like the most recent Worms game, it is in complete 3D and showcases new features, such as buildings. While the primary method of victory is to destroy the opposing team, an alternative method is to destroy the opposing Stronghold, the most important building in the game.
Note: The Xbox version is playable on the Xbox 360. The PS2 version is playable on the PS3.

[edit] Buildings
[edit] Stronghold
From the Stronghold, the player can slowly build outwards. If the Stronghold is destroyed, the player will lose instantly. The stronghold changes in each map.
[edit] Tower
The first building that can be constructed. When a player's Worm is atop this structure, it can fire Tier 2 weaponry. This only requires a single Victory Location to be built.
[edit] Keep
A stronger, more powerful version of the tower. A Worm on this can fire Tier 3 weapons. Requires 2 Victory Locations.
[edit] Castle
A strong, fortified building. This gives the ability to fire Tier 4 Weapons. Requires 3 Victory Locations
[edit] Citadel
An extremely powerful building, almost as strong as the Stronghold itself. Capable of firing the most powerful weapons (Tier 5). Requires 4 Victory Locations.
[edit] Hospital
A building with twice the longevity of the Tower that allows the option of spawning deceased Worms, with a small amount of health. Requires 2 Victory Locations.
[edit] Weapon Factory
A small, defenceless building, with half the strength of the Tower. However, it can generate Weapon Crates, making it invaluable in long games. Requires 3 Victory Locations.
[edit] Science Lab
The Science Lab increases the power of all your weapons by approximately 50% of their original damage each time one is built. Requires 4 Victory Locations
[edit] Wonder
The Wonder is strong, but defenceless, and is only used as it allows the player who built it to win in two turns (unless it is demolished). Requires 5 Victory Locations.
