About this mod

This mod recolors the Great Eastern to make it resemble the real deal (a bit more closely), and changes its voice to the flagship voice.

Permissions and credits
I was mildly disappointed when I found out that the Great Eastern added to the game was just an upcycled 'Imperial Pride' concept that was used for the Anno Union ship contest (and also as the basis for the Extravaganza Steamer).

While Anno 1800's ships usually tend to be decently proportioned and somewhat realistic, this ship stuck out like a sore thumb, having some rather unrealistic features like the portholes below the waterline, or the gigantic eagle figurehead (also sticking below the waterline).

Anyways, long story short, this mod recolors the Great Eastern and its Ubisoft Club skins to look more like the real-life Great Eastern, at least as closely as possible without editing the mesh.  

As such, there are two skins- one based on the Great Eastern's typically popularized appearance with a black hull and funnels, and the other based on its India voyage variation, with a white hull and buff funnels.These skins can be accessed through the ship skin window, where you can also find two spiffy new icons made to match the edited skins.


Installation

  • You will need the anno1800-mod-loader installed, or at least an alternative version.
  • Place into your mods folder.
  • If you are experiencing issues with the graphics not appearing, place the moddinggraphics folder inside the Anno 1800\data folder.


Notes

The mod has been updated to include a new version with the flagship voice instead of the cargo ship voice. Use only one version!


Enjoy!
