Maximum teams and worms ?

[Delwin]

Hi everybody.
I was a Worms Armageddon's fan years ago and I want to play Worms again. Like you know, Armageddon accomodates a maximum of 6 teams of 8 worms (48 worms in total) in both offline and online game modes.
Now that I come back, I would like to enjoy the new graphics, worms class, customisation,... that comes with Clan wars. But when I watch vidéos, it's seems that in Clan wars we can only have a maximum of 4 teams of 4 worms (16 in total)... Is that possible ? 48 worms in 1999 and 16 in 2013 ?
It's so strange for me that I prefer to ask if I'm wrong or not, and if Revolution or an other accomodates more worms at the same time.
Thanks for your answers.

I'm affraid to say that the videos you seen are infact the max worm count you have. You can have up to 4 teams with a max of 16, you can have 2 teams of 8 worms, or 3 teams 5 with 1 team having the extra worm. This was something I have been arguing and commenting on since Worms:Reloaded but the way the game engines accomodate for the worms seems to be a lot different then how they used to be back in the old days. The level of effects and the sophistication of the envrionments are far more complex that just simply having that many worms on a single map would seriously lag the game right down.

I have never really understood the excuse back in revolution the reasoning for having this worm limit came down to screen sizes and resolutions when you can simply just scroll the screen like you would do in the old days but I'm not an expert in programming or coding language so I'm only understanding the problems from a players-point-of-view but I do feel this should be more than do-able really but the 3D envrionments might have something to do with it, I simply do know. Making the levels scroll-able would end the resolution debate really because it wouldn't matter how big the maps are really, you'll just need to scroll from side to side to see the other sides of the map.

In case this isn't clear, the 4-team 16 worm max limit is from every game since reloaded.

Thanks for your answer.
So it's 16 in total... Really too few in my opinion. But you also said that we can have "2 teams of 8 worms, or 3 teams 5 with 1 team having the extra worm". Do you mean that the customization options allow you to create multiple "8 worms team" like in Armageddon ? (even if we can't play all of them in a same game)
