Reworking our Membership Structure for 2026 (Patreon)

Dear Members, YOU are what makes this entire project possible.
For 2026, I am planning to rework the current membership system to ensure the channel's future.
Before I finalize anything, I want your thoughts.

The New Tier Structure (and names):
The prices for existing tiers are NOT changing (the ones showed are the default YouTube ones, which automatically adjust based on your country).

- Tier 1: Field Operative ($2.99) The equivalent of the current "Captain" tier.
No changes.

- Tier 2: Tactical Advisor ($4.99) The equivalent of the current "Colonel" tier.
While some technical documents will move to Tier 3, access to all Country Guides, Templates & Designs remains the core perk. I will explain more in a dedicated post for Colonels.

- Tier 3: Strategic Planner ($14.99) A brand new tier.
Includes access to ALL documents, my scripts, my video release schedule, a new dedicated Discord channel to discuss upcoming content together, and guides for other games I play.

- Tier 4: Grand Strategist ($49.99) The equivalent of the current "General" tier.
This will see some additions to recognition and a rework of "on-demand" perks to ensure sustainability. I will explain more in a dedicated post for Generals.

Why am I making these changes?

- Filling the "Tier Gap": Many of you mentioned the desire to support more than $5, but not as much as $50. The new Tier 3 is here for that.

- Quality Over Quantity: I have prioritized high-quality, specialized content rather than chasing mass-market ad revenue. While I feel that this is the right path for our channel, it also results in very low income from advertisements. To justify the hundreds of hours I spend researching and creating these detailed guides and documents, I must ensure our membership structure is sustainable and reflective of that effort.

- Professional Focus: My goal is to make YouTube my main profession. Proper monetization allows me to dedicate more time to it, resulting in more content for all of you.

- Sustainability: With the channel growing, high effort perks (like custom short guides or save file assistance) must be reworked to ensure I can actually deliver them without delaying major projects.

- Proactive Perks: I wanted to offer more ways for you to actively influence the channel's content rather than just receiving the final product. Tier 3, and 4 are created with this goal in mind.

This is still a work in progress, so please let me know your thoughts in the comments, as I am willing to make changes based on your feedback. Thank you for your invaluable support! Mach
