Just translate em into something nordic.
IE:
Private - Grenader
Corporal - Korporal
Sergeant - Serjsant
2nd Lieutenant - Fenrik
1st Lieutenant - Løytnant
Captain - Kaptein/Rittmester
Major - Major
Lieutenant Colonel - Oberstløytnant
Colonel - Oberst
Brigadier General - Brigadier
Major General - Generalmajor
Lietenant General - Generalløytnant
General - General
Just to prove that it CAN be done, not very likely to happen, and not a very good idea either probably.
Just to explain myself tho, I didn't mean for them to implant true military rankings like this, but what I had in mind was like our guards. Mid guards have titles like Jarl, and albs like Commander, and hibs have Champion etc.
So what I was thinking that they could add something like this, like Briton Suppreme Commander or whatever tbh? Imo yes.

>Oh really. So you think military ranks were invented in 2004, do you mejt?
What makes you think there existed a true military hierarchy in the dark ages? Such a hiearchy had to be very flat for the main reason "armies" were very small or your chain of command/communication would be horribly fubar, a bit like our chat system ingame. Your table or something similar, would only work when mass armies made their appearance with the birth of modern warfare around 16 to 17th C and would be totally unappropriate for the era the game is supposed to be based loosely on. What Ara is suggesting is to stay within the pantheon of Norse mythology as the realm is based on it, having Generals moving around in the realm would ruin much of what Mythic has put into the design of the realm. Your idea drifts away 500 years

Your idea drifts away 500 years besides that using actual military names would give people the feeling that the higher the RR the more you have to say about others (like in a real army). Meaning that RR10+ means you order the complete realm around and allthough the more experienced players tend to have the lead in keepfights, it doesnt really matter which RR their current char is. RR means you have fought more than others and as reward you have more skillpoints to spend, you arent actually as RR12 (general) you arent meant to actually lead the rest of the realm into the battle. Which you need is titles that reflect the honour of having slain so many enemies, but without actually making the titles reflect on who the realm should turn to to lead the fight.
