As I am from central part of Ukraine, sure on 99% it’s not not Ukraine, especially north part, we have a bit different landscapes, villages, buildings more modern. But Ukraine and Russia have very similar roads, signs. In my opinion it is similar to Russia and maybe Belarus?. And Russian word Продукты24 we can still meet in southeast part of Ukraine (Kharkiv, Odessa, Donetsk, Luhansk) in latest both we have WAR actions.

@Vlad (ua) Well, you are from Ukraine so you know your country best. If we eliminate Ukraine Belarus left only then. I don't think that Moldova could be a DLC because it's to small. Belarus could be, because size is something between Baltic states and Romania, Bulgaria and Thrace.

I'm from Balkans and from pictures i saw from post i don't believe that's a some part of Western Balkans. We have everything kind of similar like Romania and Bulgaria but little bit more modernized.

At the end it might be whole European part of Russia, which would be huge project. I don't know, for now it's just hard speculation, for me those pictures looks very "Beyond the Baltic Sea " style. So it's Ukraine, Belarus and Moldova which i was expecting to see some different styles of road and architecture. On the other hand it could be some more Russia, which Pavel said it could happen but he didn't want to reveal any more.

I would love to see northern scandinavia. I just love being up there in Promods, but something official is needed at some point.
I mean look at that https://www.google.de/maps/@69.4846804, ... 8192?hl=de!

I totally agree

The E39 project is also of interest, it is probably the largest infrastructure project in the world
The route runs from Kristiansand in the south to Trondheim in the north, and is approximately 1100 km long.

@2:48 Imagine if this underwater bridge had a glass roof and walls. Coolest road ever!

[Some newbie driver]

I can imagine the amount of traffic accidents there would happen then due drivers distracted looking through those glass walls.

Just to show how I think it is feasible to pull off Road to Moscow including Belarus, I whipped up a very quick very rough concept map. This is a very rough American-made mock up with little to no research done so ignore the details, just look at it as a bigger picture general idea of how they could pull off ~30 cities with a decent road density.

Absolutely plausible. Maybe a few less cities in Belarus and a few more in Russia.

[oldmanclippy]

@krmarci Looking at it again, I agree completely. Maybe they could do something like Finland or France where they have some smaller towns that have one company to deliver to to fill in the gaps in Russia, or just more normal towns in general than what I have here.

[plykkegaard]

In some ATS maps you have small unmarked cities to fill the "gaps"

A nice Steam achivement: Road to Moscow

@oldmanclippy Your sketch is exactly what I had in mind. That would be perfect. Which is why we won't get it.
