I've been thinking a bit about the ranks and branches and what not we got going on here, and decided to try my hand at it. I'm going to list what I think would be acceptable ranks for the Illian army. If you like it, I'll do the other counties as well. ArmyEnlisted- Militant Recruit
- Militant Apprentice
- Militant
- Lance Corporal
- Corporal
- Sergeant-Corporal
- Sergeant
- Arms Sergeant
- Master Arms Sergeant
Commisioned- Lieutenant
- Lance-Captain
- Captain
- Commander
- Lt. Colonel
- Colonel
- Combat General
- Knight General

Just to spite you, I'mma make a Norric naval fleet. It makes absolutely no sense, but it'll be worth it. :/

Hey, come on, I'm being serious here.
EDIT: Though I must admit, the Ilian Submarine Force is bitchin'.

You know, we've already established that Commanders are lower on the command chain than Captains (ahem... Lance-Captains) in-game on a few occasions.

We have? Lance-Captain has been mentioned by Marle as a moderately low rank, and Richter is a commander, not one who holds the rank of Commander. If anything, Commanders are over-ranked, what with Kraft's High Commanders

Ehh.... Alright. I think I know what's happened here. We've had a couple other threads like this, and I probably put forward the idea myself, and then didn't get a solid "No. This is how it is," after that. I'm working off a fictional space navy ranking system though, which, while simpler isn't as familiar. In my case, Commanders were a terminal rank, in fighter squadrons, which I likened our flying cavalry to, Captains were the next rank up. Ship captains, in this case.
Bearing that in mind, I don't have a problem with adopting this system of ranks, since I'm the only one who has used my system so far.... Anywho, I'm not going to retcon whatever I mave have written. I might have written something in someplace....
And yes, I remember that Richter is a mercenary commander. I think I'm the one that started calling you Commander. Remember? xD
I'm not quite sure what you mean by "overranked" though.
... Kraft's ranks are really different. <_< lol

Yeah. Commander can also be used as a general term for the boss, much like 'Captain'. And again, remember that as a Sailor, my choice for rank names is biased. Really, just be glad I put Commander over Captain. It hurt to do so.

Heh... Since this conversation is still going, my thoughts on Illian ranks were as such:
Lieutenant Commander Captain General
There wasn't much to it. Of course, Yaen's list is far more detailed.
And what Richter said.
