Thank you all! Even in the face of Much Criticism, we continue to grow. so in this post, I will respond to critics from my friend's discord advertisement of this petition, I thank him for his assistance in advertising our cause, so we can find more people to join us in standing with Ukraine and Freedom.

"who the fuck cares? AoH2 literally allows you to change this through the scenario editor. Wont be any different in AoH3. Just fix it yourself if its such a big deal to you." -u/Equinox-Kiwi

one of the most common pieces of Criticism
While it is true, that AOH is known for its customizability, the Modern Day scenario is one of the Scenarios made by Lukanz Jakowsi and thus shows his position. the Editor tools can also be a double edge, and be used to make Scenarios that are even more pro-Russian

"It's de facto controlled by Russia, it isn't supporting anything, it's just the reality on the ground" -u/GovernmentContent625

the other most common piece of Criticism
While it is true that Crimea is under Russian control, The De facto Borders are not quite accurate either as Russia occupied more than just Crimea in January of 2022, when the modern-day scenario, some people have also asked for the breakaway DPR and LPR, I am fine with or without.

"Do you play the game? You wipe out entire civilizations and cultures in passing, hold onto power for centuries, starting wars because you are bored, wiping out an ethnic group because it’s mildly annoying to your geopolitical plans. You are making a meaningless protest against a country for engaging in aggression and trying to conquer and subjugate a country on a sub for a game about engaging in aggression and subjugating countries…" -u/Ambitious_Lie_2864

this person is just thinking too much into it, not assimilating makes things more difficult, and it is encouraged for players to assimilate provinces

"It’s a video game if you don’t like it keep playing 2 you loser" -u/lilmothboi
 
AOH3 has more features and is of better quality

"I give it five years before people start burning atlases and history textbooks for acknowledging reality" -u/JoetheDilo1917
 
We are not attempting Whitewash. We are vehemently opposed to Whitewashing. this petition calls for an accurate neutral portrayal of the Russian invasion of Ukraine

"Crimea shown as autonomous region, not a part of Russia also Ukraine controlled Crimea until 2014 and in 2014 lost it , it is a fact" -u/bksd999
 

In the Current version of the Modern-day Scenario, it is shown as a Russian vassal state, and in the prior version of the modern-day scenario, which takes place in 2018 Crimea is shown as a part of Ukraine

"Your profile is a cesspool. Jesus Christ." -u/Historyfan1914
 

Ad Hominem or "to the person" is a logical fallacy where a person attempts to discredit an argument through personal attacks rather than the substance of the argument. some people are making fun of my friend when presenting their criticism.

Once again thank you all for signing and standing with freedom and Ukraine. if enough new criticism (not anything showed above) comes, there will be a part 2
