TCV should be referring to the current rules, and I have to disagree with the part about having the 'praetor' rank for a large number of important ranks; it would be similar to what happened earlier in the game when only 2 people (my character, then Asina, and navarro's) could become consuls so they automatically become consuls; which is why now Legati can run as consuls.

Unless perhaps the requirements for the Praetor rank be made lower, or make another rank (e.g. Dux) between one of the ranks you proposed; or the ability to get 'battle points' for participating in a battle (but only half/a fraction of the points of the commander. It might be possible, makes people have an incentive for their avatars to join legions as 2nd-in commands for reasons other than RP.

Another possible suggestion for the proposed promotion thing (if it would come into effect) would be gaining points over the time served such as governing a city as a quaestor (in mini's rank system).

My opinion now is that some/most ranks you proposed are rather hard to attain (seeing as we only have 4 legions and not the lands to support it). so I don't think we should implement them ingame yet, unless there are more chances for avatars to lead armies/gain ranks through time.


gah! TCV took the save just as I got home!

edit: TCV was faster than me again! I am becoming slow like bean from around 12 pages ago
and when the CA of removing the Princeps and Promgistrate rule was proposed, it should have came with details describing the new powers of the consul (because there are some things nobody can do if it's not clarified, like moving garrison troops etc)

edit2: TCV, while you're not ending the turn yet, could you let me take it to do some CoL stuff? unless you already ended it and are currently posting the CoF report
