Well, technically, it would be possible to add Greece through southern Italy, via a ferry route from Bari to Igoumentisa, but that would mean that we would have to wait for M95 to finish mapping Italy, and also he would have to find space to put a ferry in, and then match it with scenery etc, etc.
At the very least, add Igoumentisa to the map, because it would be easy to find connections with. Maybe M95 could add Igoumentisa to his Italy map as a surprise! ;)

Because there's other countries that have a higher priority at the moment.
And why not to add , africa usa and goes on . :)
Because we're focusing on Europe. Once we're 100% done with Europe (which could take years), we can discuss the other continents.

A bit of a non-argument since "Euro Truck Simulator" isn't a name chosen by ProMods.

If we were to add Africa to our map, we wouldn't let a silly name stop us. And we wouldn't even be the first ones venturing into Africa...

And true, USA will be (party) in American Truck Simulators, but what would stop us from connecting both continents, if we wanted to?

We're focusing on Europe because we want to, not because this is "Euro Truck Simulator".

But still, the thing is that we don't like "island formation" on our map; isolated parts of the map only accessible from one point on the main part of the map. For Iceland, Ireland and the UK, this is not a problem, since those are islands in reality too. However, for mainland Europe, this is something we strongly want to prevent. We would like to have a continuous map.

Besides, we can name quite a few projects that have a higher priority right now than Greece:
- Mapping the Baltics
- Autobahn Rebuilding Project
- Completing Italy and France
- Mapping Spain and Portugal
- Slovenia (and the rest of the Balkan)

There's just so much to do, but only limited manpower...

Best,
MandelSoft
