    Default Titles

    Surely there's a subject about this and please refer me to it, but i'm not going through 47 pages of threads.

    Who on earth came up with the ranks/titles for this game?

    You start as Civilian, then you become a Knight. From Baronet you got Baron. Then Viscount, Earl, Marquis, Duke... So far so good, the titles follow 'blue blood'

    But then?

    Fürstin? Queen? The German word Fürstin means Female ruler, sorry Evony, but why jump from male titles to a female title?

    And then you go back from Queen to Princess? Strange, strange, strange...

    Prinzessin???? WTF???? Princess? I'm not entirely sure that most guys here would like to be called a Princess.....

    But it could be me...

    It is pretty nonsensical. Dukes are just below King.

    Another thing is why don't the titles take into account the sex of the player?

    That for one would be a good thing.

    Some guys like to dress in pink dresses and pretend they are a princess, maybe that's why the game devs made it like this.

    Baronet is a junior Baron, Baroness is the female Baron.

    The irony is that Evony makes such a big deal about speaking English during gameplay. Perhaps they should have stuck to it themselves, before going letting the programmer go mad with a stack of German gossip magazines...

    They make a deal out of it, but don't do anything about it anyway..

    Sounds familiar in a way, making a deal out of things here and then not doing anything... Different subject..

    All fine, but why the sudden change from male to female title and from English to German? Why not do it consistently either male or female and either German or English the whole way.

    Did they really think they wouldn't get any players who would find this out?
