I just noticed they released the "Help for Ukraine" DLC in May 2022:

Note:

The developers of this game are against any war. We never wanted to present our political views and we are tolerant of any political opinions. But when bombs start exploding, politics is over. We are strictly against the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Damn, didn't know that Ukraine-Russia history, like the Ukrainian civil conflict, started in 2022. DLC includes the blue and yellow Ukraine flag instead of the era-appropriate Ukrainian SSR flag.

Blech 🤮

Edit: for emphasis. "But when bombs start exploding, politics is over." Just... Just god dammit, people. picard

Trying to figure out the type of person who would make a USSR-themed city-builder but also doesn't understand that wars are by their nature political.

It's bizarre, but it must have something to do with post-Soviet Slovakia going full NATO after the USSR was destroyed. Whatever the reason, they can kiss my exhaust.
