Which command and conquer are we talking about? You actually can destroy ore in Red Alert 2 and Yuris revenge. As for general map design: Small infinite orefields have 3 uses: 1) Turtling maps. Those maps favor turtles. They have a lot of choke points and heavily defendable infrastructure. They are mostly super-weapon oriented, as one strike can wipe out most, if not all your base. Ore and Tiberium fields are usually put outside the base to encourage expansion, as well as having few base ones kept inside the base. It is interesting to toy around with, because there rarely is any good turtle oriented map. 2) As said above by bbglass007, heavily defended miners become less of a target. A way to fix this, is to have ore fields in the outside and money generating buildings at the starting location+1 small ore field. This will again, force the player to expand outside of the base perimeters. 3) One of my favorite uses for infinite expensive ore is money maps. But instead of putting them at the starting location, put 2 fields in the center and have the players compete for the ore. The starting location would only have the drill/ore spawner, and no starting ore. As such, any ore that does come out, is harvested quickly, so securing the extra becomes a priority.

CMislType=CMISL As for the flak weapons, there is something interesting going on in there. While the damage in the code is reduced(or range), the actual damage dealt is not. It may be related to veterancy modifiers. I may be wrong here, since I have modied the veterancy modifiers in my rules.ini file
