Why add achievements that are entirely luck based?

To call something wasteful implies there's something to be wasted when the primary goal of playing any video game is to have fun.
Mario brothers, Tetris, Asteroids,
Simply add a timer and levels and call it something else with fancier graphics, more mechanics, longer time to think and so forth, as you like, but if the game is being played to *achieve* something, it is about efficiency.
Saying "wasteful" was just, perhaps a bad, way of saying:
"I, we, others, play the game to maximize the *efficiency* of our choices to maximize our outcomes in a limited timeframe"
Thus, if your goal, as it is with many people and many if not most video games, is to essentially become as efficient as you can in achieving the most optimal outcome in making a goal.
That's kind of the nature of any game, for *some* and saying "wasteful" was just a more shorthand way of saying this.
A city named Samar actually appears on Italian maps of XIV century. Nevertheless, Penza and Saratov are still around as I can see.
On the other hand Kanadey was founded in XVIII century and it's Tatar name is Kınadı.
Saratov in Tatar is called Sarıtaw (literally "Yellow hill"), Tsaritsyn - Sarısu (Yellow water), Simbirsk should be Sember, Azov should be Azaq and Astrakhan should be spelled as Ästerxan, although a more historical name is Xacitarxan.
And you have a typo - it should be Yar Çallı, it's actually the Tatar name for Naberezhnye Chelny, a settlement founded in 1626. A better choice for the name of the area should probably be Alabuğa.
And names like Lipetsk, Voronezh, Tambov, Borisoglebsk or Kuban don't sound Tatar at all.
I'm a Tatar, so I should know.
What is Etkara? Google can't find it.
That's a stereotype, Golden Horde had many cities, and there are some academic works about them, for example "G. A. Fyodorov-Davydov [Fedorov-Davydov] , The Culture of the Golden Horde Cities, trans. H. Bartlett Wells, Oxford, BAR International Series, 1984"
Though by XV century they were not exactly at their peak, thanks to Timur.
