We are looking into the 'extra' ranks issue at the moment, not just troop tier ranks but maybe a ranking system where there is a few 'ranks' in between each troop tier promotion?
That would be perfect. The only issue I have with the mod (And honestly its not much of an issue) is the short time it takes to progress through the ranks. It took me about 15 minutes of Harlaus running around to go from recruit to knight, which just seems far to easy.
Again, in the list of issues, its not that massive, keep up the good work
