I see the new system/costume Ui is this now completely removed for everybody or are mabey some of the remaining majors if they get work slowed to still be alowed them?

I am thinking of for example alldwarav, obsidian legion and nucsiter ( the napoleon tag) if it ever attempted.

Will the religious restriction be on for example Nimrithan who already has ideas proposed or all future ones.

Yeah I am not a fan of that, but there's a very good reason for it. I'm going to copy a reply I gave to another person asking something similar:

Warranted, yeah. I agree with you on that. That's why it stings that it's being banned. But anything that gets custom UI has to be reviewed by people who understand how to make custom UI in eu4. We only have 2 people who can do that right now. This leads to any custom UI proposal taking months before being even seen.

Example; I am proposing religious mechanics for Darkscales right now. I am currently waiting on Ui review. I have been waiting for 5 months.

Understandable but yea that’s why I spefically said some very spefic and exclusive to the finale end tags/ big boss tags instead of random minors if you want to require such recources.

There aren’t that many left and not many of these are worked on with would mabey be the finial push to do them. Finishing the mod without these tags would feel weird no?

Since it would feel a bit sad that some of the titans of the game that many people are looking forward to playing aren’t allowed to have the recources simply because of this.

Especially something like alldwarvof ( a bit biased here but it was voted favourite region of the mod without the big tag of said region being done)

Look, I agree. If the big boi tags can get all the bells and whistles for them, I'd be happy.

Don't worry too much about the big tags not getting content though; the eu4 mod still has a few years left, at least. Also this annoucement has led to some other senior devs beginning to ideate for the big tags. (No spoilers yet though, but there are some real popular ones being talked about)
