Second-in-command...?

Second-in-command...? Way way back, the ranking "Second-in-command" used to be known as "Officer". For some inexplicable reason, it was changed from something that made perfect sense to what we have now. It makes zero sense to use the rank "Second-in-command" for all of my officers, and the other ranks near the top (Treasurer, Protector and the like) don't make sense either. I'm hoping that the rank's name can be changed to something that actually makes more sense.

I don't mind I'm proud to be SiC I suppose if it were possible though I'd be leader or co-leader.

Hi InuzukaKiba,

Thanks for your post.

The French equivalent in-game of "Second in command" is "Bras Droit", which, more accurately, means "Right-hand man". I could change "Second in command" to be "Right-hand man" (or just "Right-hand", to avoid using 'man' when people don't find it acceptable), but, as Alyss-Sin suggests, there are people who would prefer to be "Second in command", rather than "Officer".
I can't see a French rank that would translate to "Officer" in English, so perhaps it was removed or changed in the French when the new ranks were added a while ago.

As for the other ranks not making sense, I've checked them all in French, and their English translations are correct, and accurate:
A l'essai - On Trial
Meneur - Leader
Bras Droit - Second in Command
Trésorier - Treasurer
Protecteur - Protector
Artisan - Craftsman
Réserviste - Reservist
Larbin - Dogsbody
Gardien - Guard
Eclaireur - Scout
Espion - Spy
Diplomate - Diplomat
Secrétaire - Secretary
Pénitent - Penitent
Boulet - Nuisance
Déserteur - Deserter
Bourreau - Torturer
Apprenti - Apprentice
Marchand - Merchant
Eleveur - Breeder
Recruteur - Recruiting Officer
Guide - Guide
Mentor - Mentor
Elu - Chosen One
Conseiller - Counsellor
Muse - Muse
Gouverneur - Governor
Assassin - Murderer
Initié - Initiate
Voleur - Thief
Chercheur de trésors - Treasure Hunter
Braconnier - Poacher
Traître - Traitor
Tueur de familiers - Pet Killer
Mascotte - Mascot
Tueur de Percepteur - Perceptor Killer

If you would like more ranks to be added, they would first need to be created in the French client, and then translated. As this isn't a typo or spelling mistake issue, perhaps you could make a topic in the "Game Development" section with your suggestions, which would allow other people to have input as well.

Cheers,

HP
