I hate repeating myself, but incase someone missed here is the changes for ranking:
There are now 3 ranks in every group. Recruit as a starting rank, regular rank (guard, light infintry etc.) and the supervisor (head<rank>). Everybody will start as a recruit and recruits cannot have premission to mine or build to our town. They can live in Aliquam and their supervisor can promote them to regular rank when they prove that they are worth of it. Some exceptions can be made if the recruit is part of miners or other merchants. I hope this will prevent stealing that has been happening recently.
