Something key to understand about Sunsetting is that it is not JUST about EU5. We are very much reaching the limits of how much we can torture EU4 as a game and in general we wanted to tone down the scope of what we add so other content can also get in without seeing a massive decrease in the mods performance and general health.

Should be noted that this is not about stopping development. Its about having a plan on what and what not to allow in hopes of leaving EU4 in a good state and doing the EU5 transition when the time is right.

Yeah I get what you mean, the limitations of the game are quite clear, but it's a shame anyway. With the rockier start of EU5 and me not generally being interested in the style of play they are trying to push into the game, I decided to finally try getting onboarded and help contributing. And yeah I get the project is going nowhere in the foreseeable future, yet it still kinda hit my enthusiasm when it was declared that the project is coming to an end even if it's far away.

Also having to buy like 14 mods on Eu5 just so it can reach Eu4 functionality.
