Ruins still work in some capacity. export a map generated with 1.49 and see what ability ruins are using, and try creating a custom map using that ability instead of the ancient ruins ability. it has changed.

i bet the high tech player wins. if you mean low tech and high tech in the same way that they are meant in the game setup screen, i think the high tech player could beat 19 other players without too much trouble. of course, i have been wrong before.

I would be interested to hear how it turns out.

The purpose of the high tech player is not to win but to wreak havoc. Eventually the other players will gain enough tech (and some might even fight together) and defeat the high tech enemy.

I'm afraid that won't work. The ability that the Map Editor claims that 1.49 tags ruins with doesn't appear in the ME's drop-down menu, and the Ruins entries that the ME lists aren't recognized as ruins by 1.49. Typing in the label rather than using the drop-down menu gives an "invalid ability" error.
