Just look at the page 6 of this thread and you will have an answer of what are his long term goals to join the different parts that are Promods main map, Beyond the Black Sea part and Middle East Add-on.

Good day, will the cities in this development come in 2.50 update?

[JohnBart]

Yes, Poti and Batoumi will come in 2.50.

They would need to change borders every release if they include South Ossetia. They move borders a few metres every day in that part of the world...

Let's start with the fact, that there are no borders there. This is an occupation line, which is moved every into territory, controlled by the central government.

And, I believe that this mod shouldn't reflect Russian imperialistic ambitions, as most developers live in countries that haven't recognized these territories as independent states, but rather as territories occupied by Russia.
You either don't do them in game, but on the map they still should be drawn as part of Georgia, or you include them as part of Georgia.

Otherwise, you will be fined, or even arrested if you ever go to Georgia for spread of illegitimate and disinformational maps

Also, I would like to point out that part of S2/E70 now goes around Kobuleti as a Kobuleti Bypass Highway, one lane in each direction for the moment, but in general there is a lot of work going on S2 and S1 roads.
See the part of S2 I'm talking about below

Also, if you switch to satellite mode, and follow S1 and S2 you'll see a lot of roads being constructed

In any case, Platypus, thank you for your hard work and I would appreciate it if you include the disputed territories in a version that is recognized by your country's jurisdiction (it's Belgium, according to you profile info, right?), which suggests that they are parts of Georgia, occupied by Russia, maybe there could be even a warning sign near the occupation line.

[Platypus]

Hi,

Sorry but as usual and said a lot of times, we DON'T include disputed territories. So, South Ossetia will be simply ignored.

Regards,

That is indeed a good approach, but nevertheless borders of Georgia should be drawn properly on the map

As for the part about roads - this is just a sharing of info so that you could have the latest info about all the construction going on there.

Best,

[Platypus]

We'll see for "borders". Maybe they can have some parts drawn dotted, like for Kosovo (as done by Google maps)
For the roads, I have for opinion to not always include upgrades to 2x2 lanes. In some cases, I let/downgrade intentionnally road to 2x1 lane, like for road 90 in Israel
Yes, it's not fully realistic but this is done to avoid to have a map composed only of highways, what could become monotonous.

[giosal]

Dotted lines are actually good idea, that's how they are on Google Maps as well.

As for the roads - given that there is still construction going on, there are plenty of single lane roads, and highways represent less than 300 km in total from the road network of Georgia, even less for double-lane highways.

I also wanted to ask if the photo of Batumi airport has the terminal on it, as I can't quite see it. I'm asking because I would appreciate it if you could include a new building, built around 2009.

In any case ,I greatly appreciate your work and if I can help in any way (like providing more detailed info), I'd be happy to help!

I've been waiting for the expansion to Georgia for years, so you can understand my excitent

Will there be more cities in Bulgaria?
