I was supportive of the rank names in the Ministry of Arcane Arts because that goes hand and hand with the same ancient teachings premis which the religious sect was expected to follow.
I was and still am supportive of alot of it, it just bugged me when a whole aspect of my methodology is wiped out and replaced by something that was only intended to reign over specific parts of the government structure.
The military, government positions, the political structure, and social titles should have been left alone by in large.

This view of Archism can be more generalized into being "a political belief in which stability of a state is sought to be enhanced by modernizing a government, while preserving important traditional values of the culture. A constant emphasis on the importance of maintaining a functioning independent governing body is evident in the policies enforced within an Archist system."

The traditional values being preserved in the religion and study of ancient magic, etc in the way of rank titles. But mostly in Archism, that statement deals with the importance of the monarchy and its last ruling family. Modernization should have been apparent in the operations of government, which would include the military and most other government positions. Strategus was not a word I made up, like most of hte others were that where in the ministry of Religion. It already existed in the english language.
I just feel like some of the more recent rank changes was taking a step backwards, rather than forward.
Ah and let them all say what they want. It does not require one to make up words to be original. It just means you have to be different than everybody else and your predassesors. If there is any real outcry against what the Republic's basis was, then it was because we were being far too original, rather than not enough.
And your right, the new leaders of any kingdom has the right to do with it whatever he or she chooses. Even as much as I may not like it. You are allowed plenty of freedoms, also, to operate within the framework I created, but I tell you this: this most recent change is not consistant with my vision.
Thats all I am gonna say.
Sorry we got into it in this thread, I know you dont like that. I didnt intend on it, I just made a statement and you rebutted so, I rebutted as well, lol.
