Разделяй и властвуй

I completed the game with a human hero in 4 months and, unfortunately, was disappointed. The new map embodies all the worst old quirks of the author:

Thank you for your feedback and criticism, Antik

and a winding, convoluted path for moving around the map.

Should I specifically simplify the logistics in my maps and, instead of interesting paths for movement, create straight roads from one player to another?
So that the AI doesn't get lost, God forbid. I wouldn't even be very interested in drawing such a map.
