I notice that it's possible to modify the place names on some of the maps using the files in the i18n folder.

Somebody probably mentioned this already - it's a fast and dirty way to customize a map. I see many people in the past have used an existing map in place of another area, but have been stuck with the immersion-killing original map names.
For example, the famous "White Sun, Blue Sky" campaign used the Crimea map as China. Using this simple editing technique he would have been able to personalise the place names on the map, thereby adding to the immersion
You can also edit the drop-down menu in the FMB and make your own, more descriptive menu items by editing the maps_ru file. For example I changed Online4Summer to NetMountains, which seems more intuitive to me.

Sorry if someone already posted this.
