Ruin placement isn't random. Rat Race isn't hacking. >_>

I would say they are random. Or do I miss something? Everytime I start a map under the same conditions, the ruins are somewhere else. If this isn't random, how would you explain the system behind it?

Every map is randomly generated. it's been like that since the C&C series came out. maybe even earlier. meaning every object and peice of terrain on the map is randomly placed.

No, no, no. Ruin placement on a map is randomized somewhat, to the extent that no two ruins are likely to be in the same place twice, but it's not entirely random. For instance, ruins generally aren't placed very near mountains; mountains have a large mask around them that is illegal terrain for ruins, extending somewhat farther than the graphic of mountain itself. But it's not just this, there are other patterns. IE, some maps (I'm particularly thinking of the water hole) consistently have lots of ruins around the edges, while other maps (Great Sahara, for instance) spread them out. Most water maps have a lot of ruins near the coast. As you can see, there are certain rules RoN follows when placing ruins that create patterns. An experienced player will take advantage of these patterns.

Well,
I have never heard anything so stupid in this forum. First of all, Spanish have line of site, second everyone knows the ruins are in the corners and that you have to send your scouts around the mountains. Cause thats where the ruins are.
As for you comments, if I was cheating, why didn't I get all the ruins?
As for the no_nukes hack, I did comment that I don't play scripts cause of this guy who sent me a no_nukes script and it was hacked, I had a guy building 50 units in ancient age and still beating everyone to modern. I didn't say I used the script, I said someone I don't like receiving files cause of the dodgy stuff out there.
anyways, good luck in your future hunt for ruins. I will share my "cheat" with you, THEY are in the corners and not on top of mountains, they cannot be found in the forests, so send your scout in a pattern to cover as much ground as possible.
Good luck Noobie.

Does that "no nuke.bhs" script stay with you perm or just the battle cuase someone sent it to me and being a noob at 3am dident look and I dident know untill it already loaded and I couldnt use nukes or missle shield -_-. I dont want to "give" it to other people when I play online so does it just effect that game or do you have to delete it?
