=  QUICKSTART, read this if you get easily bored with facts =

This was born as a tribute to a great custom map for
Midtown Madness 1, but lately it grew insanely big, it 
eventually incorporated elements inspired by sandbox
games such as Grand Theft Auto, the landscape varies
like as never seen in a Re-Volt map, it has a couple
of little towns, a large redneck farm area, an 
heavenly chilly glade, a harsh desert gorge and as
cherry on the top, a tallass mount called Sfrangiolive
( literally from Italian *Nutswrecker* or *Nutscrakcer* )

You can fool around alone for hours in this map, but it
really shines for online battle tag games...

IMPORTANT: this map is better enjoyed with the 
game Instances set to active, deactivating them may
broke the gameplay of this map in several places.

= DETAILED README =

Track name: Ruddles County.
Track creators: Lo Scassatore; FBV-86; Kratos.
Track lenght: Re-Volt failed to calculate it.
Track type: Experimental, free roaming\sandbox.

= POTENTIAL AREAS & GAMEPLAY =

Battle Tag, THE WHOLE MAP: stars are scattered all over the landscape...

Toshinden Arena, SUMMIT OF MOUNT SFRANGIOLIVE: and the best thing is if
you fall off, you can spend some good times in the county instead of 
bore your ass off waiting for the others to get done with their business.

Another Toshinden arena, IL RENE'S RUINS: this one is kinda more
difficult since the grassy surface of the little island is very slippery.
Also, mind those geysers, since they're powerful enough to send a car flying.

Car Soccer, PURCELL'S FARM: the area with the two big barns near to the
monster jam oval, they can be used as goals, all you need to do is to 
get yourself one of the giant boulders and you're good to go!

Monster Jam, PURCELL'S FARM: an aggressively banked dirty little oval
with a jump on the first straight, fun to mess around with dirtbikes...

Gravelmania Hill, PURCELL'S FARM: the gravel mount is actually irregular
so it poses a real challenge to the players as they need to find an 
optimal driving line in order to get on top as fast as possible.

Mud Bogging, PURCELL'S FARM: the two pits are also functional as they
have an irregular bottom, well timed corrections and wise positioning
of your car is crucial to beat your opponent to the other end of the pit.

SuinCide Jump, PURCELL'S FARM: there's no actual skill involved in this
challenge, it is fun though, but remember: if you fall in the pig's 
corral you're stuck in there for good... unless you got a lifted truck.

Permanent circuit, CHILL GLADE: nothing better than an old fashioned
race in the dirt, but since the map doesn't support any track zones 
and neither AI or pose nodes, a gamekeeper is required to keep track
of what happens throughout the laps and who eventually wins the race.

Cannonball Rally, SUNBURNT CANYON: great for point A to point B races.
Same as for the permanent circuit, a gamekeeper is needed.

== WHERE TO START, WHAT TO SEE ==

As you start the game, you'll be dropped a few yards away from the little town 
of Ruddles, a vast flat aerea nearby hosts the Purcell's Farm, the most renowed 
Redneck's heaven which features a monster truck jam, a gravely hill, two mud 
pits and a wispy muddy racetrack arranged around the farmer's field, just make
sure to not damage the crop, or the good 'ol Purcell will do some to your ass!

Once you're done with your Redneck's antics, you can either head south, through
route 31 which leads to the majestic Mount Sfrangiolive and the shooting Chill
Glades, or take the dirt road to the west and tackle the unforgiving Sunburnt
Canyon, once theater of bloody feuds between gold prospectors and bandits...now
it's used by truckers to haul wood to the north when the route 31 is flooded, and
one time a year it must bear the violence of the Cannonball Rally of Ruddles.
There's also a small ghost town along the way to see, maybe the gold is still there.

Up to the north, the Highlands is nothing more than a barren land of rocks, with
an amazing paved winding road which will enrapture you as you rocket past the
sneezy town of Saint Indunda, the local handyman makes loads of cash thanks to
the ever present steep cliffs around the curves of the route 32...just make sure
to not end on the bottom of the huge Lake Facicazzo ( don't ask ) before you can
get back to the County of Ruddles, because there's still some stuff left to see.

On the way back to the south you'll see a lovely geotermic area with giant
geysers, they are actually functional, so, if you drive 'em over you'll be
thrown up in the air! Hang time varies in reason of the weight of your car.
Also, you can't miss Il Rene's Ruins, a kidney shaped island which used to
host a big medieval court, now the ruins are just used by locals for battle
tag events and general havoc-fests. Powerboats also race around the island.

Back in south, you can't miss the Chill Glade and the Mount Sfrangiolive if
you didn't take a visit before leaving the county! Chill Glade can be accessed
by taking a right turn when you see a gravel path coming down from the north on
the route 32, eventually you'll have to take a left turn into the tunnel and
once out on the other side you'll be graced with the best singing of the wind.
If you're not the quiet type, you can try to set a new speeding record through
the Glade...

When done with it, you can head back out of the tunnel and take a left turn,
once to the junction, take another left turn, this will lead you to another
junction with a dirt road on the right, the most elevated scenario in the 
history of Re-Volt awaits you, with its 24.946 game units over the point zero
of the map ( yea nerd stuff, shut up ) it also offers 2 different paths from 
bottom to halfway up, and once to the top you'll be rewarded with a majestic
view of the county, now I dare you to find the fastest way down :D have fun!

And once you took your time fooling around alone in this map, there's such
potential to it as a battle tag arena, also, you can just gather your friends
and cruise or drift around it, and if you think you saw everything of it, you
just might discover a little secret area or some stupid easter egg, who knows?

Anyway, I sincerely hope you find this new experimental kind of racetrack for
Re-Volt at least entertaining, you can send me any feedback on our forums of
Aliasrevoltmaster.com

Have fun fellow Re-Volters - FBV-86
