About this mod

Changes ranks from Rookie to Grade Zero. RK to G0. and so on. Works with enemy within.

Permissions and credits
like the mod from Dezeal and his Professional Soldier Ranks

This part is copy - pasted from the link above about the reason why they changed it and i agree with it.

The intent of this was to make it more fitting of an international covert organization. It didn't make sense for several Majors and up to be on the front-lines but at the same time there were no modern military ranks that really fit X-Com.

So, Grade's represent the skill level and experience that a Soldier has. Since all the soldiers are controlled by Commander it seems rather pointless for Soldiers to have command ranks. Now instead, they're rated on how good they are as Soldiers and Warriors. It makes sense too because as they go up in Grades they get better stats and unlock new abilities which represents their new skill level and experience.

Aptitude, as the name suggests represents how good a Soldier is at using and controlling his/her Psionic powers. If a Soldier is of better aptitude, then obviously they'll be able to use better abilities and so on. That's basically the logic behind all of my changes.


I have modified the Enemy within XComGame.int File.
So that the ranks have now become
Rookie-> Grade Zero
Squaddie-> Grade One
Corporal -> Grade Two
Sergeant-> Grade Three
Lieutenant -> Grade Four
Captain-> Grade Five
Major -> Grade Six
Colonel-> Grade Seven

Rk. -> G0
Sq. -> G1
Cpl. -> G2
Sgt. -> G3
Lt.-> G4
Cpt. -> G5
Maj. -> G6
Col. -> G7

The Psi Ranks have changed as well.
Psi Adept -> Aptitude One
Psi Specialist -> Aptitude Two
Psi Operative -> Aptitude Three
Volunteer-> Aptitude Four

Trne. -> A0
Spc. -> A1
Opr. -> A2
Vol.-> A3
