[WIP] Mygotopia | An official Grand Utopia addon map [alpha v0.1]

Welcome on the topic of Mygotopia, an official addon map for the Grand Utopia Map.

Mygotopia is a map expansion that adds a brand new country off the island of Grand Utopia.
This time, this new country is not inspired by France. Here, I let my imagination run wild to offer you a different kind of immersion, in a fictional nation that could be situated halfway between American and European culture.
Mygotopia is a vast country, synonymous with wide open spaces. The fact that this map is created on a continent instead of an island means that there is more space between towns and villages to create more beautiful and realistic landscapes.
Good to know, the official language in Mygotopia is English (not French!) and to create this country, I use elements from several European countries. The aim is to give you the feeling of travelling through an unknown land, which you have never seen elsewhere.

More information can be found on my website: www.grandutopia.fr/en

|ABOUT THE CREATOR|

I'm MyGodness, a 30 year old French guy who likes to use his creativity to imagine, design and build things, firstly on Minecraft and since a few years on Euro Truck Simulator 2.
I've been working for more than 4 years on a 1:1 scale map project called Grand Utopia. Today, I've given myself a new challenge, to make the world I've designed for you even bigger.

I also want to say a big thank you to my Patrons who support me and encourage me every day to develop my mod projects.
It is partly thanks to them that this project is finally being created!

|REQUIREMENT|

As Mygotopia is an addon map, you will need the Grand Utopia Map mod to use it. This mod won't work alone and it also won't work with any other map mod or with the SCS base map.

You will also need some SCS Software DLC's, the same as for Grand Utopia :
∟ DLC Going East!
∟ DLC Scandinavia
∟ DLC Vive la France !
∟ DLC Italia
∟ DLC Beyond the Baltic Sea
∟ DLC Road to the Black Sea
∟ DLC Iberia

|AVAILABILITY|

This map addon is under development. It is not yet officially available to the general public but it will one day. No date can be give for now for the free release of that mod.
However, Globetrotter members of my Patreon have early access to the alpha versions. This benefit is offered to them as a thank you for their support.

I saw this on your website the other day, one question that's been burning away in my mind is how did you make your map background? I've found a few random fantasy map generators but they don't look half as good.

The best way to have a realist map background is to use a real map ^^ My map backgrounds are taken from here : http://maps.stamen.com.
Grand Utopia is the Levsos Island (Greece), flipped. And Mygotopia is the USA west coast, also flipped. 😉
