bendib, yep, I've seen those dots, but AFAIR I've seen often more dots than actual sources (that preview is hard coded or generated from map?).
Bit seeing them on first time you don't know to which exactly tile you need to go, only approximately which can cause enough big delays.
But that's not my point anyway for doing something with that.

in my example you knew oil locations but you sent truck a bit later, your truck tries to get oil in same order as your enemy, in result you cannont get any oil
Is that not the same as making a mistake in your build order?

At least once, but there is more than one map. ;-)
Yes, which is why I saied "a map" vs. "the map" :D

it is not. its bad luck
on map "Urban-Chaos" center oil can be spoiled in second,
on map "NTW" enemy truck can spoil line of oil on your base
on map "StartUp" you need to spoil (make 1% built) oil near your base and send truck to oil on enemy side
i'll stop this explaining, its impossible with my level of English

I understand, I just don't agree.

Urban Chaos is a bad map with only one winning strategy, regardless of the problem discussed in this thread (:
