We have never and likely won’t ever do “short-term” adjustments to the geography in AS. A good example for this, which happens to be related to the current situation, is Crimea: While in reality, it has been a de facto part of Russia since 2014, in the game it is still firmly Ukrainian. These things sometimes take a very long time to settle and sometimes even flip back. So we tend to wait until things are “official” before we follow up in the game.
And we most obviously won’t do such a change for the sole purpose of symbolism. It wouldn’t help anyone affected by the conflict, but it would force a large-scale operational change on players of a strategic/tactical simulation game.
On the latter note: We are looking into the above-average fuel price fluctuations we’re seeing right now and how these could and/or should be addressed. I am open for suggestions here (but likely better to open a separate thread for that).
