⚠️ Important: Starting with dev 5, all resource types will generate .uid files, making references path-agnostic. These files are editor-only but should be added to version control for proper data sync.

Dawn Of War 3 had similar issue of low player count, everyone disliked initial game mode and maps. By the time they added new modes and maps it was over, shut down shortly after.
Lets hope that doesnt happen this time
