I have now tested AlexanderN's method for converting American-style maps to European ones, and it seems to work fine. Good work, thanks!

One thing though, which is unlikely to cause real problems: in the road/rail/trolley wire building menu, every item seems to appear twice in maps converted to European building styles this way. I suppose this has to do with the relationship between the header and the rest of the file. Better twice than never, I guess.
 
I thought id share some comments on the game after returning to it months after playing it close to release.

I was hoping to come back to the game and see some feature heavy updates/DLC along the lines of what ive come to expect from a title like Crusader Kings 2 (perhaps that an unrealistic expectation)
From what i can see from the DLC list, including this latest one, i could only spot one or two new features one of which was about metro stations.
Looking at the changelogs, most of the non DLC changes are simply modding improvements/store etc rather than game features. I consider modding features a very good thing, but not at the expense of gameplay features.

While i can respect the opinions of others who enjoy cosmetic DLC and i can appreciate the practical realities in development, personally i have no interest in this cosmetic DLC for this game unless i can get game features/improvements with it.

So from my perspective, i hope you plan to add a feature heavy or improvement heavy DLC at some point.

As a final note, thanks for making the game, i spent many hours enjoying it when it was released, so i appreciate the work you did on it before and after release.

Nice that the method worked for you :) I also had no problem with all maps I've tested so far.

The editor currently shows you the option for both road styles even if you start a fresh clean european-only map. I've already reported this bug.
Although this is no problem. Even if american roads are built in the editor in european maps, after saving and re-loading, all roads are in european styles.
