theres one more company you missed. Vitas Power

[jarryed]

Kolico is another that is coming. The USBB trailers might be related to that?

@jarryed My understanding was that Kolico might have been a placeholder for USBB, and that USBB is its own company in Colorado. I might be wrong but that was how I understood it.

@parasaurolophus67 Vitas Power that was one I forgot, thanks!

[jarryed]

It is a possibility. Guess we will find out when Colorado is released.

But we are also getting what parasaurolophus67 mentioned with Vitas Power. This is another ETS2 company that we will see with Colorado.

It would be cool if we got both Kolico and Dream-Drink, to have a Pepsi vs Coca-Cola thing going on. More competition between companies in the same industry would make the game more realistic.

Also have Denver airport as a unique, one time delivery spot and Ultimus (sp?) is becoming the dedicated company for the cargo planes.

The cost of this is that the mine area now occupies just about everything that would have been the South Park area, and the eastern part of US-24 connecting to US-285 will not likely ever happen. This is not necessarily a really bad thing as we have a complete US-285 and US-50. I'm betting this is one of many areas of Colorado that the developers had some real painful meetings in deciding what had to be cut out.

Interestingly, on the leaked maps from a few weeks ago (like for example my map with the enhanced contrast) it looked like US-24 is connected with US-285
but this turned out to be just an optical illusion. Agree, there are always compromises to be made, sometimes quite painful ones. No easy decisions for the
devs, and the results are sometimes critisized a little too rashly by us fans.
All in all i'am personally absolutely pleased with the map, the road network we get is nice. The only sort of bigger missings are US-24 from Colorado Springs to Limon and maybe CO-13 all the way down to I-70. But i can live with that. Still definitely the best road network we've ever got at a release in my opinion.

By the way, someone mentioned a week or so ago the non-existence of any gas station on I-70 between Grand Junction and Denver, a long way without the
possibility to refill fuel. There was indeed none to be seen on the maps we got to see in the Grand Junction to Denver gameplay video, on the new map from
Tuesday you can suddenly find one though. Does that mean they added that one on the quick? Or maybe this gas station already existed back then but was just
not visible on the map for whatever reason (saw that video only until the Eisenhower tunnel, did we drive past one later there?)?
