Description:

Swaps out the names, and descriptions of the Empire titles ranks for a hierarchical system that makes more sense. It always bugged me how the title ranking were all over the place with both medieval, and classical titles mixed in there. This mods fixes that, and adheres to the medieval system. All ranks barring the scrub one have alternative titles for their female counterpart, apparel requirements, and work specific they will not do that makes more sense than vanilla. See table below:

I may make a variant of this at a later date, but really I’ve just set the groundwork here for anyone to make their own version, based on whatever culture they wish, be it historic, or fantasy. Feel free to do so, using this mod as a dependency.

I made this mod with the intent that anyone with a modicum of modding-know-how, can easily use it as a the framework for making their own hierarchy systems. This could be as simple as replacing the labels, and descriptions; or as involved as replacing all the meal, clothing and job requirements. The files are compartmentalised to make this easier.
