Player Ranks

Player Ranks are important in determining the number of men one can command and while they go by different names (You say Potato, I say Potatoe) each nation's ranks are at heart the same in Naval Action.

Edit 2019-06-11: Thresholds for new ranks are not final and might be updated once more before release, as additional rank of Admiral of the Fleet might be introduced.
