Northamptonshire: Northampton
Wales: Bridgend, Llandridod Wells, Newport, Aberystwyth, Abergavenny, Monmouth
Scotland: Perth, Dundee
Roads: A34 Oxford to Southampton, M42 Solihull, M40 Birmingham to London
I believe Oxford will come, along with most of your suggestions for Wales and Scotland. The M40 from London to Birmingham might also be, although I reckon it'll be a tight fit (due to Oxford being in the way)

Hope this helped! :)

Bridgwater and Taunton are in Somerset, not Devon. Although Bridgwater would be good to add as it's the home of a major Morrisons distribution centre. I would also love to see Barnstaple added in North Devon if possible. There is plenty of room for it.

LOL. You really think Bridgend, Newport, Abergavenny and Monmouth are all going to fit into Wales? While I would LOVE to see more cities in Wales, i'd rather sacrafise cities in exchange for more accurate roads. I don't want to see Newport added because i'd rather a rebuild Cardiff that is more true to real life. Even Swansea is a bit... pushing it in terms of proximity to Cardiff. Also Ross on Wye and Monmouth?


The only cites that should be added to Wales is Aberystwyth, Fisgaurd, Hollyhead then if there's any room left maybe add in Wrexham or somewhere insignificant up North or add Milford Haven but i'd rather cover those first and see how it's looking.

Our main focus will be on improving the road network, not on building cities. Building cities takes about 2 weeks per city, so just with that list we could fill nearly a year's work.

Big cities like London, Glasgow, and Birmingham take months to rebuild (each).

Yea Barcelona took ~1 year, so I am estimating the London rebuild to take at least that.

You said that cities like Barcelona took a year to build and London would likewise require the same amount of time. My question is when did you guys start building London?

Hi Promods

Did you read my post about the North Devon one. If you have, then here's the map

That is what i was talking to Promods about North Devon. Because I lived in Barnstaple. Also they will do something else like Bideford. I posted an image for the Promods Team & Developments to see. I hope they can bring North Devon in either 2.2 or 2.3
