...Everything stated below is purely my PERSONAL opinion, and I don't intend to argue with anyone.
1. ... a Russian-language map will always be closer and more familiar to me than an English, German, or even more so, a Chinese map (although my English is quite good).
2. Every map has its own advantages and disadvantages. The presence of disadvantages is not a reason to blindly criticize any map.
...
4. The fact that you don't need to solve puzzles that require a thorough knowledge of all game bugs, calculate the remaining movement points with a calculator, and engage in other hardcore activities is a definite plus. If someone has a lot of free time, or they enjoy portraying themselves as the "Father of Heroic Democracy," then more power to them.
5. Regarding the "hype" surrounding the map. Perhaps some people are not familiar with the meaning of this term.
Point 5 – (not entirely relevant) there is a newfangled breed of people – "PR-sters" (they probably removed the letter D from the name for aesthetic reasons):D – and they really like to look at Europe:eek:
