But also please think like this; you live in Belgium right, imagine a mapping company (it doesn't matter for games or for commercial) is building Netherlands, Germany, France and when they come to Belgium they say "nah lets just by pass here" and moves to Luxembourg. That wouldn't upset you?

Anyway let's stay on the topic I am still wondering what is that "Middle East" road you mentioned. The only suitable Middle East road on Meditterrenean are; Lebanon, Israel and Egypt. Egypt is built independently so 2 options left.

Ok, no problem I know you and other users want Turkey but I'm actually the only developper to work in this area. Also, as I previously said, work I'm doing is function of my inspiration of the day. I make the work when I have good idea how to do it. If you ask me to do Turkey now, I will just respond I have no idea how to begin it... I have first to think to it ... Otherwise, result will just be bad.

Also, here's an update over the list I published some time ago :

Turkey : is definitely a country that will come in future or at least parts of it. Because Turkey is very big and we can not connect it actually.
- The first possibilities are to reach Istanbul by Greece/Bulgaria : some work need to be done in Bulgaria ... I'm actually busy in Thessaloniki
- I will consider to add a ferry from Thessaloniki and to do Izmir. So it could be the first Turkish city. In a second time, we will relink it to Istanbul
Lebanon : I find still Lebanon an interesting idea but due to it's closed borders / war area around, it would be like an island with in first time only a connection to Cyprus ...
Israël : The road between Haifa and Ashdod (the two ports) through Tel Aviv area is indeed in consideration. It could also have a connection to Egypt via Beer Sheva. However, there remain some reserve due to potentially political sensitive situation. So it had to be considered actually as a side project.

So one could implement the O-32 Highway between Izmir and Cesme.

I know it is early to ask but i want to know
Is it possible to add Israel,Lebanon and Turkey?
(There is a cyprus-israel and lebanon-turkey ferry)
And Lefkosia is so beatiful good work!

It is possible but we'll all see in the future

Hello,

I see here some quite interesting ideas but I have to investigate it more deeply
So, I will make no promises on this However, here is a first idea of what could eventually be done :

Turkey : is definitely a country that will come in future or at least parts of it. Because Turkey is very big and we can not connect it actually. The first possibilities are to reach Istanbul by Greece/Bulgaria, other is a ferry from Athens to Izmir.
Syria : sorry, this is actually war area ...
Lebanon : interesting, I like the idea of Beirut with it's airport. However, Lebanon is quite blocked by the closed borders / war. The turkish ferry can not be used because we would need nearly the whole south coast of Turkey first. Maybe a connection to Cyprus could help in a first time ...
Israël : good idea also but with some reserve due to potentially political sensitive situation. The road between Haifa and Ashdod (the two ports) through Tel Aviv area could be studied
Egypt : don't forget it also...

But I repeat that all of this are only possibilities, based on my personal opinion. I would like to work in this area that can offer interesting landscapes for the game, but don't forget we have also to make the link to Thessaloniki (and some parts of Greece) to link this area to the map

For Greek islands, only some of them will be considered due to scale, like Crete and Rhodos

We could reach Thessaloniki quite quickly, so some parts could come at medium term. In which version, I don't know. As usual, it's ready when it's ready
