how about avatar of war is some kind of achievment when you have 50 or 100 wins but didnt have to recall a single time. (marxon had no defeats at all after my knowledge).

Yeah, avatar should be top of the aeon, if you want supreme commander to be the highest, then make avatar directly under that.

I got an idea about adding more variety to Sera names. Somehow, they sound a bit like ancient Egyptian names (Imhotep, Hatchepsout, Thoth, Isis). So it may be interesting to mix in some parts of egyptian names in the name generator.

Also, maybe we can use egyptian Pharao or Gods names for Sera high ranks, like the higher ones could be : Imhotep, Thoth, Amon-Re or this kind of names that is easier to remember (and inspire awe) than SouThuum, YthiIstle, or YthiThuum.

Here is a list of Egyptians short name parts:
Amon
Amen
Ani
Ankh
Aton
Baen
Bek
Bou
Bat
Che
Chou
Dja
Dje
Geb
Hath
Hak
Heth
Hori
Hotep
Hathor
Iou
Isi
Kehops
Khian
Keh
Khou
Mahou
Maat
Memnon
Mout
Nefer
Nefet
Neb
Nen
Nout
Paneb
Pesh
Ptah
Psout
Qed
Ra
Re
Sah
Se
Ser
Seth
Sobek
Sokar
Serket
Sou
Ta
Taho
Tef
Teti
Thout
Ti
Tot
Tou
Zhor

I like it all, except maybe for Aeon, I don't feel that it is fitting to use roman legion names for Aeon. I would personnally prefer titles in the line of crusader, like templar or paladin or hierophant (something more religious), or this kind instead of legate and Centurion. "Zealot" could also be a first rank and Crusader second rank.

I think instead of commandarm or starshina (i dont get that name anyways) terminator would be really cool.
it is hard to find fitting names for cybran and i think elite commander is a little bit... boring.
i dont feel like it has anything to do with the cybran story...

Commandarm and starshina are officer in the soviet army (if my memories is good) but i still belive in cybran should have german ranking. General feld marschall is my vote for high ranking in cybran army.

Wonder why... in the honnor of the greatest military genius (20th century):Erwin Rommel

I believe Avatar of War was the highest military rank for the Aeon and Evaluator was more a teacher/leader of the religious classes.
Champion should be slightly below evaluator if it were to stay in as it is just really a sign of preference from the princess.
Also, no tip-of-the-spear for Cybran?

Don't make GW silly by adding ridiculous names: Supcom had a serious tone and some so GW.

I would like to propose a slightly different system:

Ze_PilOt wrote:
Uef : ["Private", "Corporal", "Sergeant", "Captain", "Major", "Colonel", "General", "Supreme Commander"],
Aeon : ["Paladinr", "Legate", "Priest", "Centurion", "Crusader", "Evaluator", "Avatar-of-War", "Champion"],
Cybran : [ "Drone", "Node", "Ensign", "Agent", "Inspector", "Starshina", "Commandarm" ,"Elite Commander", ],
Seraphim :["Su", "Sou", "Soth, "Ithem", "YthiIs", "Ythilsthe", "YthiThuum", "Suythel Cosethuum"]

This adds some more cannon name (tnanks sheppard) and makes the seraphim names sort of make sense.

Do you have cool rank in german??

no no no, germans have the most fucked up military ranking names in the world

also i personally i would like Specialist more instead of Corporal

also i dunno why "Drone" should be better than Ensing

what are the seraphim ones based uppon?

and the "Avatar of war" that marxon, isnt he? i thought he is one of the highest ranked ones so that one should maybe be straight behind Evaluator
Riza i think is crusader and she is also pretty high, something like fletcher so probably at the level of colonel
aaaaand last but not least for aeon some place for the "Champion" ?
maybe as last level because im not particulary a fan of having just "Suprem Commander always as highest level, that seems to be boring

For UEF in SC the highest military rank is Chief in Command President Riley or just general as in FA General Hall was leader of the UEF (and all humans) and not some strange "suprem commander"
For Cybran Dostya and Brackman are the military leaders so probably Elite Commander should be the highest here or "Leader of the Cybran nation.

i dont know really but isnt "admiral" over "general"
or is that a different system?
for cybran TERMINATOR MAYBE ???
i mean they are basically robots.
for aeon i think it should be avatar of war -> champion -> supreme commander.
and should "supreme commander" maybe be changed for each faction?
although it wouldnt work on seraphim

The difference beetwing general and admiral is the same rank but one control the navy the other one the ground
