I'd hate to see all the work of this mod die and be switched over to a new game, however suited. That said, it's quite possible a mod team would pop up on imperator working on their own elder kings mod-I'm curious if they approached this team if a collaboration of assets would be possible without abandoning CK2's development entirely in favor of a new game. They would of course no doubt diverge being two seperate teams who would likely have seperate ideals ultimately, but not sure if the foundation would be offered by this mod team-modders tend to have a large diversity of sharing ideals, and arguably all are justified since they put sweat blood and tears into their work.
