Not to be rude, but can we leave the "how is the progress" questions now? Developing anything takes time.
Yemmlie101 has most likely reached an agreement with Paradox, the details of which we're likely not authorised to know. After all, do we pester Paradox on the progress of their newest DLC? Not really. Can't we just find comfort in the fact, as Yemmlie has stated, that the project isn't dead?
That aside, I'm excited for the eventual release of this new version, as all of the new features give us the power to create our own history on custom heightmaps (I'm quite sure you'll see a few Earths on the Workshop), well, at least the on the macro scale. Fine details will have to be manually edited (Not a complaint by an Astronomical Unit, this tool is golden).
Thanks!
P.S. Search " ck2 history generator reddit ", it should come up with the subreddit for the history generator, updates are more frequently posted there.
