changedi have done a vote in the discord and it atm got 100% votes in favour of it, but want to ask for feedback on it here too. it also will only replace as the default launch option when it has all the most important EarthRoyale features and a full world map if i end up doing it.
changed(this would also include support for event more customization for scenarios, but would make making them a bit harder as ER2.5 generates the map from images instead of EarthRoyale that got hardcoded provinces)

i atm got 3 weeks where i can't work on ER3 due to not having access to my whiteboard that i use to do more complicated calculations and plan out more complex algorythms (idk why but i can't do it without a physical whiteboard)

and since i made ER2.5 wich works similar but a bit better than EarthRoyale and is a lot easier to update and just better made due to me having more coding experience now (core of EarthRoyale was made when i had less than 2 years of experience and was made as a small personal project to deal with burnout from school)

i am considering updating it to have most of the EarthRoyale and if so have it replace the EarthRoyale 2.5 default launch option and have it continue as EarthRoyale

ontop of this any changes from the normal EarthRoyale you'd want it to have or suggestions on stuff to do based on testing the current version of EarthRoyale 2.5 would be highly apreciated ^^
