Greetings,
So i'm trying to make some small ruins and ruin settlements, with secret door's and boss rooms... So I'm looking for some tips when making terrain and doodads for ruins...

And I wanna make a so to say "inf goldmine" of course meaning it's gold supply doesn't end. So how do i do it? With triggers and just add gold to the gold mine every couple of minutes or something like that? Or is there a easier way?

For the gold mine, you just go to the gold mine ability "Abilities->Special->Units->Gold Mine Ability".
There is the Max Gold value.
I think it uses that one when you place the gold mine.
But you might have to select it and set the amount there.
Via triggers, setting the gold to practically infinite could be done when you create the gold mine.

So, if you, lets say, mine 10g per second from a gold mine, and it is on 1,000,000,000 gold, then it would take 100,000,000 seconds, meaning 1,666,666 minutes, meaning 27,777 hours... uhm... one million (27 hours) would be enough.


I am not great in terraining, but looking at pictures of things and trying to spot the details always pays off for me.
