I removed it, along with a few other things, which are now only available to people who actually bother to leave a donation. What is for free is a slightly downgraded version. Sorry but I spend 3 years to make this mod, only for other modders to now use it as source material and even literally extract small pieces out of it to then upload as standalone mods, even after explaining my disdain for this I got booted out of the "modding community" for it. Even this "Military Attention - Ships" mod was only made by Hier0nimous because he wants to make a copy of my mod, or as he says: "I want to give users an alternative to CO". Even the names are strikingly similar "Combat Overhaul Ships" and "Military Attention Ships", he was also planning to re-create the other parts of my mod, and remember, all these modders have my mod and can look at everything I ever did, which is a piece of cake to then know how to do things in order to replicate them, or to work with modders I previously worked with to get all the information/experience from them. Code and ideas implemented in other mods mean nothing it seems, its all up for grabs, you can spend ages to find how to do certain things, go through thousands of lines of code in the vanilla files just to find one thing that can work, then spend so much time testing it to make sure it works properly, to then have someone else re-create, re-formulate, reverse-engineer, whatever fancy name you wish to call it, based on your existing mod, to then upload it themselves and you cannot even say anything about it. Due to this plagiarism and overall allowance to copy parts of other mods, or attempt to re-create them entirely, I decided to go in another direction with a tiny financial incentive for me, it was either that or I would have nuked all my mods. Basically the reason I modded Anno for 3 years is now shattered and I'm trying to find another reason. My apologies, I know users are the collateral damage and this is not fair, but when you work 3 years on something to then be treated like it doesn't matter, with utter disdain, well it surely shifts your entire perspective. I have always been helpful to people if they would just bother to ask, but what I absolutely cannot stand is people not having any decency to even ask something and just take whatever they wish, or "re-create" things that were done long before. Just watch, me leaving this comment here will make others come out to drag me though the mud again. Its gotten so bad some of them even enter my email into dubious websites that now send me spam mail, among other things. They even tried to get my account banned. Go to the Combat Overhaul mod page and follow the rabbit hole, you will find a page where I explain everything in way more detail with screenshots of what other modders/moderators said and did.
Hey @@IIAc3sII . Thanks for the info. I also checked the website, very detailed explanation there. What's the difference between the various donations?
@@hookedgamer no difference, it all leads to the same link which opens in a new tab automatically, but some people reported they did not get this, so they have to manually contact me then. At first I had one donate button which advised 3/6/10 euro with option to enter any amount, but apparently lots of people found it funny to only give 1 cent, while it costs me 37 cent just for the transaction, which is why I made 3 different buttons now with different amounts. So pick whatever you like, or don't, the mod is still fully playable even if you don't donate, all core elements are all there, nobody has to donate if they don't want to.
Thanks for the showcase! Appreciate the feedback and maybe will include some because some are definitely valid. I did have some additions to the video. - There are more ships in the mod that you did not include. Maybe you did not know they existed :) (Small Reefer, Windjammer (larger clipper), Small Battle Cruiser, Flak Ironclad,...) - The whole reason of the B42 is a reference to the bomber B52. It would be way to crazy to also give it 8 cargo slots. The whole reason behind this whip is to be a bombing ship. It has 12 dropping shafts, which is A LOT compared to the other ships. As balancing it does not have 8 cargo slots and it is really slow so anti-air have some chance aginst it while it approaches for bombing runs.
I have actually built them, but forgot to mention them :) Regarding B42, I like crazy haha but I see your point, however more slots would justify his painful slowness :)

First rate ships were ships that had three gun decks. They were widely used during the napoleonic wars. Look up HMS Victory.
