' Wrote:Shouldn't rank names be in french? IMO it would be more cool and ease the immersion of the players
They're partially in French, kind of... I think... well, some of them are, at least the cognates like "Comte" (Count). Margrave is a French title (we'd have gone with Marquis or Marquess but they sound too much like Maquis...), and I suppose it wouldn't hurt to change "Duke" to "Duc", although it looks kinda funny...
So long as we only do that for cognates, though, it's fine. If we do it for every rank... Rheinland Military. I can't count how many times we've tried to figure out who's in charge and gone "is your rank above mine or below it?" It's better at least with the prefixes, but sticking to cognates is good. For "easing immersion" to French players we could do whatever, but this being an English server and most of us not knowing French beyond "bonjour" "monsieur" and "madame", best to stick to cognates or to use English.
