Italian Peninsula Development

As the blog post says:

You are most likely aware that the game already contains several cities from northern Italy. These areas of the game world will receive an extra layer of polish to coincide with the DLC release so even players who decide to wait with the purchase of the new DLC will benefit from a partial upgrade of the game map.

So, I doubt we'll want to keep anything from our Italy work. It's just old.

How about Trieste? Seems to fit right in.

As for the other cities, probably none will make it due to lack of space I am guessing.
Plus, they are probably already in the DLC.
But with time we will see what is and what isn't on the DLC and maybe some of the work might be included with an upgrade later with the new France and Italy assets.

Oh, of course Trieste will stay. I meant the old work in Italy.
There's also a possibility that we'll improve those parts of our work that we like with new assets from the DLC, to make them look fresh.

I think that improved A22, A4 and all roads north-east from Vicenza must stay in game. If we look to old France, merging it will be very easy.

Sorry for the neglect to keep in the loop, but will this new DLC be improving the original parts of Italy as well as expanding? If so, where does this leave the ProMods Italy project?

I can say that I've been personally responsible for this job. You're welcome

I hope that you succeed in making (and forcing other SCS mappers to make) realistic cities and road network, as you made here.

Yes! From the Steam page for the DLC: "Euro Truck Simulator 2 will receive a free map update of existing Italian cities and countryside before the release of Italia expansion."

[Mooner_37]

The cities that were already in the map will be free updated. But the brand new one are on a price. I guess around 20 euro's for the new DLC.

@M95: New prefab is coming from scs get ready.

I think Vicenza should change name to Padova (Padua), because the city is situated between the A4 and A13.
Vicenza is situated a little bit north-west instead.

To maintain part of the Promods work on the north Italy, I would suggest to add Bolzano (Bozen), because between Verona and Innsbruck there is a big hole and the small city of Aosta, between Torino and Bern, soon...
