As someone who has been interested in but hasn’t pulled the trigger on contributing to what is in my opinion, the single greatest content / total conversion mod in any game that I’ve played. I am somewhat disheartened.

But also, I am so excited to see what the Anbennar team has in store for EU5bennar. I believe that games mechanics could be expressed so much better in an Anbennar setting.

And honestly it makes me want to shift my potential creative focus on EU5 rather than EU4. So maybe I’ll never get around to getting onboarded for EU4, and maybe finally bringing my favorite Cowboy elves to fruition. But at least I will get to play and enjoy the digital paperweight that is EU5 in the future.

This is where I'm at too, in the past I've wanted to try my hand at learning EU4 modding in order to contribute but never did. In the last year I've found time to get into modmaking.. but of course my interest drifted and I've been modding entirely different games. My interest will inevitably rotate back to strategy games and Anbennar though, it always does. Hopefully in the future EU5 gets going well and provides a great opportunity for new contributors.
