The Elder Scrolls 5 Legion Military Ranks

The Ancestral China of 194 is strong on the outside and capable on the inside

This is when I was discussing the equipment characteristics of various forces in the game with my friends. I would like to thank my friends for sharing his detailed experience of the game with me. , I think it is necessary to separate out the part discussing the equipment of the ancestors of China, so as not to cause cramps in the future...

I don’t know if you have seen a batch of fan CG pictures in Zhuo Genbao. The production is very beautiful. It's the army of the Ancestral China. They are fully armored and holding weapons. The golden light shines like the elven army in The Lord of the Rings. In addition, the Somo Arbiter in Skyrim also wore an elf armor, which was later upgraded to glass armor, which made the cash-strapped root treasurers drooling when they opened up the wasteland, and they unknowingly used their brains~~ Although I I'm used to being a good person, but ever since Araveen sent out the first assassin team, I've basically been ambushing them when I met Arbiter Somo~~

So, is the strength of the Ancestral China real? Like their military police force in Skyrim, with abundant supplies and bright and shiny armor?

If you go to Southam Island in the Dragonborn DLC, there will be a plot where a Skal blacksmith is kidnapped by the Ancestral China and asked to hand over the secret recipe of magic ice forging. In that plot, the Ancestral China His strength has been exposed~

The shining golden elf armor is gone, let alone the crystal clear glass armor. The soldiers of the Ancestral China in Southam are wearing shabby leather armor. , not as good as the light armor worn by imperial soldiers. When I first saw it, I was stunned for a moment. I thought they were bandits, and they couldn't be Somo's soldiers.

I discussed it with my friends later. At that time, I also asked why Somo's ancestors, the Chinese soldiers, wore leather armor. It was because Somo in that episode came by boat. Maybe Somo's navy wore lightweight leather armor in order to be light at sea. .

But friends refuted the rumors, because Elf armor is lighter than leather armor. The reason why Southam's ancestors of the Chinese soldiers wore leather armor has nothing to do with whether they are navy sailors, but ordinary Somo soldiers. Equipment, in the final analysis, after the World War, one of the main reasons for the truce between the Ancestor China and the Empire was that they could not continue the fight and ran out of money.

Then I have to ask, why is Somo in Skyrim so well-dressed but didn’t change his armor to leather armor even after the DLC came out? The result of our discussion is that the Arbiters of Somo in Skyrim are a model army. To put it bluntly, they are used to show the Empire and the Nords the image of the ancestral China with strong soldiers, horses, and abundant materials, just like your Imperial Legion in Laogong 4. Ebony armor is all over the place, right? After the World War, you are so shabby that you wear leather armor. Our ancestors in China are still very wealthy. The soldiers all wear elf armor and glass armor~ You Nords just give up the resistance and ban Talos. Yeah~~~~~ It’s just a way of showing off. The entire Ancestral China has no money anymore, so it’s still possible to scrape together a hundred and eighty sets of elf armor to decorate the facade in the sky.

As a result, the true strength of the Ancestor China was exposed in Southam. Not only was it out of money, it was even shabbier than the empire~~~I wonder how Lao Tu would feel after seeing this piece of information~< /p>

The Rift Manager after the 195 Peace Conference

Everyone knows that compared to the stalemate between the two sides at the beginning of the game, after the peace conference, the situation has changed greatly. On the surface, Laowu took advantage of the changes, but due to financial pressure, Xueman was pushed to the forefront, and the long-dormant military operations were carried out around Xueman.

On the other hand, in Rift City, which was originally used to prevent the Empire from connecting with Skyrim, the city lord Spellbender and his family were ousted and replaced by the pro-Empire Marwen Blackthorn family (it was really a murder and arson gold belt) , the bad guy becomes a lord in one step).

In the civil war mission, when you give Lao Wu his uncle's axe, you can see that the kicked-out law-breacher lives in Lao Wu's palace and becomes a diner.

If you go to talk to them, there will be more interesting content

The person who hates Zhu Genbao who caused the downfall of the Dharma Walker family is not the former lord, but The elf manager... would viciously curse Zhuo Genbao upon meeting him, saying that people like Zhuo Genbao who cling to the Empire's lap would die a bad death sooner or later.

Why does she hate you so much?

The next sentence will explain the whole story: She will tell Genbao that she is worried about where to find a job as a general manager in the future...

I think so, she It’s a bit difficult for the general manager to find another job. 1 Of the nine territories in Skyrim, five are on the Storm side, three are on the Empire side, and one is probably going to the Empire soon. Unless there is a clear change in the war situation and the Storm wins, Then she still has a 25% chance of getting a job in the new lord's court. Now people like her are unemployed.

2 Not to mention ancient times, even in modern times, service talents such as stewards and even servants are looking for jobs. It is impossible to just pack up and leave to make their own way like tenant farmers or apprentices. I have watched "Downton" Everyone in the "Manor" knows that if you want to find a job again, you must not only find a well-matched employer with similar status, but also have a letter of introduction from your former employer indicating that your moral character and qualifications are acceptable, otherwise you will not be able to find a job. A letter of introduction is useful only if your employer’s status is stable. If the employer’s family is in decline, or if it’s a letter of introduction from an employer who has simply stepped down like Laila, they won’t be able to dump you.

3 The power of the butler is much higher than that of the butler in "Downton Abbey". It can be said that if the boss in the Middle Ages was lazy, the entire family business might be run by the general manager. That status and wealth are not comparable to that of the butler. Therefore, after being accustomed to being the general manager of a large territory, she had to deign to work as the general manager of a small boss. Her self-esteem could not overcome this hurdle.

4 What if you want to find your own way and start your own business? Let’s put it this way, during the Middle Ages, except for the rich or knights, the only people who could eat well were those who served the lord. The servants of a British duke could receive an average of 8.5 pounds of meat per head per week. , this is not comparable to the salted fish, rotten meat, and smelly cheese that ordinary farmers eat. So in "Downton Abbey", a person is happy to find a job as a servant in a wealthy family. We can't say that this person is hopeless, because his/her food is much higher than that of ordinary people.

So just from the perspective of making a living, the steward would rather follow the former lord and eat for free in Laowu's palace than find a way out on his own. However, it seems that the former lord is in Laowu's palace. In addition to being in a daze, that is, eating...

In general, in ancient and modern times, the career of a steward did not have as much freedom as a servant. Basically, he and his employer were tied together, and everyone was prosperous. , both insults

196 soldiers see differences in their speech

When doing civil war missions, there are more opportunities to come into contact with soldiers from both sides. From the conversations between soldiers, you can hear the camps of both sides. The difference between soldiers came out

1. The Stormcloak soldier was complaining and didn't want to be sent to guard duty. Another storm trooper said sarcastically to him, "Would you rather farm?"

Most of the storm's soldiers are Nord locals who support Laowu. Most Nords make a living by hunting and farming. On the one hand, they inherited the warlike genes of the original Nord conquerors, and on the other hand, they inherited the warlike genes of the original Nord conquerors. On the one hand, in the sky where monsters and ghouls are rampant... they maintain a good martial tradition (if you don't know how to fight, you will die), most of the storm soldiers are from militia (I think the prototype of the storm soldiers comes not only from the Vikings, but also from the Vikings) The Continental Army during the Revolutionary War and the Confederate Army soldiers during the Civil War are in it. Most of them are farmers and hunters, and a small number are urban civilians. They are civilians with good military literacy in peacetime and are a good source of soldiers in wartime), so in During the conversation, they would talk about past livelihoods such as farming, and they would also look down upon people who were afraid of fighting and suffering, and would rather farm the land honestly.

2 Imperial soldiers will say that they inherited their father's legacy. His father used to be a legionnaire, and he has now joined the legion.

The setting of the imperial legion is derived from the Roman legion. After the Marius Reform, the source of soldiers of the Roman legions changed from farmers to all classes except slaves. From farmers in peacetime to soldiers in war, to out-of-work professional soldiers who served until the age of 60. After reaching the retirement age, from The government either collects pensions and land from the generals, or returns to Italy, or becomes homesteaders in the provinces where they serve

So as an empire that mobilizes troops to fight across the continent, peasants Soldiers definitely do not meet the needs, so the Imperial Legion should also be a Roman-style full-time professional soldier. After the father's service period expires, he becomes a farmer or a businessman. Under the influence of the family, it was very common for sons to join the legion in ancient Rome. , switching to the empire in the game, it would make sense for a son to inherit his father's legacy and continue to join the army

197 If you don't show off, you won't die

Lao Gun has many interesting books, I'll read them in a while Increase skill points, this book that increases block is very interesting

It tells the story of the protagonist's legion attacking a castle. At the top of the castle tower, there is an evil lord. Acquiring the skill of blocking, one person occupied the top of the tower. There was only one staircase that only one person could pass through at one time. He blocked the attacks of everyone behind him by relying on force and location. Soon, the tower and the stairs were blocked. It was filled with the corpses of challengers.

In the end, it was the protagonist's turn to confront the lord. The lord easily moved his footwork and deflected his shield, effortlessly blocking all the protagonist's attacks. Sooner or later, the protagonist would become one of the corpses under the tower. of one.

Seeing the stalemate, the protagonist suddenly asked the lord: "The hero's martial arts are extraordinary, and his blocking skills are beyond the realm of perfection. May I ask what kind of magic skill and what kind of unique skill?"

The lord listened. He was quite proud, feeling that the other party's last request before death must be fulfilled. He wanted to tell the protagonist that he had achieved this secret skill solely by instinct and the devil's favor. And as for the name of the secret skill... he actually found that he was so It has been many years since he gave his blocking skill a name that was high enough...

Just when he was thinking hard about how to tell the protagonist a name that was deafening enough to be worthy of his skill, I was stunned for just such a second, and was penetrated by the protagonist to my heart~~~

After reading this, I improved my blocking skills~

198 Empire’s Military Rank (1)

After joining the imperial army, he helped Lao Tu regain several fortresses one after another. At this time, he gradually rose through the ranks, starting as a soldier, then becoming a financial officer (...a curious military rank), an executive officer, and now When I arrived as the adjutant, I felt that in Lao Gun, the military ranks of the legions were worth mentioning

1. The titles of these official ranks were very Roman, but it cannot be said that Lao Gun's military ranks were copied from those of the Roman legions.

In comparison, I feel that the imperial military ranks of Lao Gun 5 cannot simply be equated with the centurion in the Roman legion - the chief centurion - the knight commander - the camp commander. ——Deputy Legion Commander——Legion Commander is a set of military ranks

2 Because in the Roman military system, centurions to camp commanders were all grassroots occupations such as legionnaires and centurions who served for a long time. Soldiers are promoted to positions after accumulating military merit. During their service, these soldiers are not allowed to get married unless they reach a certain military rank. Military discipline is very strict. Therefore, these positions can be regarded as military ranks designed for civilian professional soldiers.

3 The knights of Rome are a separate category of social status. *** and era refer to the social class that can afford military equipment and provide their own horses to serve as cavalry. Compared with the nobility, they belong to the wealthy class. class, the Roman legions had five military leaders of the knightly class. In most cases, they appear as civilians and are responsible for managing some important administrative affairs of the legion. However, they also have to perform tactical command tasks of the legion during battles, so their positions can be regarded as those of the wealthy class (not equivalent to the nobility). )

4 Deputy legion commanders and legion commanders, the former are usually served by senators, and are mostly specially set up for young nobles to further their promotion, while the legion commander must have served as a tribune before. In some provinces where only one legion is stationed, the legion commander also serves as the governor.

5 So it can be seen that the military ranks of the Roman legions are divided into three categories, corresponding to civilians, knights, and nobles during the Roman period.

199 Imperial Military Ranks (2)

1 So in the game, the position of the Roman legion commander corresponds to Lao Tu’s general position. I think it is appropriate. Lao Tu has more than Lao Wu. The reason for his superior political acumen is self-evident. Because the commander of the Roman legion must have gone through a long period of political training and accumulated military experience before he can take on the role. A qualified corps commander should be a commander with both military and political abilities.

2 Hadawa’s military rank, judging from the situation when he first came into contact with this guy (beheading...), Hadawa is a Nord and understands culture (ask someone to behead him on the list) Head...), initially he wore armor one level higher than that of ordinary soldiers, and could also give orders to people. I think Hadawa should be a low-level officer who was gradually promoted from a low-level soldier (because he also had to participate in front-line battles) . Corresponding to the Roman legion, Hadawa should initially belong to the level of centurion.

In the later period, he wore imperial heavy armor and an officer's helmet (different from the imperial female officer who commanded the beheading at the beginning, and the officer's helmet worn by Adjutant Riki), and he was probably promoted to the position of chief centurion. .

3 As for Adjutant Riki, as well as the female imperial officer who commanded the beheading at the beginning, they were wearing official helmets, so I think their positions were at least at the level of knight officers, and since Riki was still Judging from the initial female officers, they were all close to Lao Tu and reported directly to Lao Tu. So I think Rui Ji’s level was at least higher than other adjutants stationed in different territories and military camps. If we really want to translate it correctly. If so, I think the title "lieutenant" in the novel "Spartacus" is more appropriate.

Then Rui Ji’s status is probably not low in Tianji, at least she is from a noble family, and is definitely not comparable to ordinary officers like Hadawa.

200 Imperial Military Rank (3)

I mentioned Lao Tu, Rui Ji, and Hadawa’s military rank

Then it’s time to talk about the errand-running devil catching the root treasure. Why are Genbao's military ranks so civilian, such as "financial officer" and "executive officer"? I think the production team has two starting points.

Starting point one

1. Theoretically, Zhuogenbao can have or own real estate in the nine major territories. Not to mention those magic weapons and so on. Everyone Zhuagenbao has collected piecemeal pieces of armor, weapons, and weapons made by yourself in various mansions. There is no problem even~~ But he is an unidentified blind stream who was almost beheaded, so according to the social hierarchy of Rome, the knight class is great if he survives, don't expect to be a noble.

The title of Zhuogenbao in the nine territories is "Thane" which just illustrates this point. It was just the title of the squire and landlord in ancient Britain.

2 Because Zhuo Genbao is considered a property owner and has culture (to be a cultured Zhuo Genbao~), compared with the positions of the knight class in the Roman legion, it has a certain degree of civil service Color, it’s not surprising that it’s like a financial officer, but if you grab Genbao, you can be promoted to Lao Tu’s deputy. Although your title is adjutant, you can’t compare with real nobles like Adjutant Rui Ji. of.

Starting point 2

1 The military rank of Zhuogenbao is different from that of Hadawa. Hadawa is closer to a grassroots officer who was promoted from a civilian soldier, if you count the Roman legion. , the best result after he retires is to become a knight, which is the same level as Thane who grasps Genbao. He is a professional soldier

And grasping Genbao changes from a civilian to a property owner, and then joins the army. , and may not remain in the legion after the war, so for Genbao’s military rank, I think the production team also referred to the volunteer military ranks of the Northern Army in the American Civil War

In addition to the conscripted conscripts and professional soldiers in the American Civil War, There are also a large number of lawyers, teachers, engineers, writers, doctors, and businessmen who volunteer to join the army. Because these people have social status and education, they generally do not become soldiers, but mostly participate in the war as officers. However, considering the post-war U.S. Army Tens of thousands of people will be downsized again. It is impossible to retain the status of officers for so many people in the military establishment, so a set of volunteer military ranks was developed. During the war, they are the same as ordinary officers. After the war, they will all be discharged without occupying any positions. Army establishment.

The volunteer ranks of the Northern Army can be seen as being specially set up for civilians with a certain status and education who served the country during the war and retired after the war to join the army

So Judging from the above two starting points, as Thane's root treasure volunteered to join the legion, it was impossible to serve in the legion all the time. After fighting the civil war, he returned to the territory to live a comfortable life with his wife and children, so he was appointed as the financial officer. A military rank with a strong civilian flavor, such as executive officer, is a natural fit.

ps There are many honorary military ranks in the United States, the most common being colonel. The famous "Colonel Sanders" is of this type

Details of the 201 stove (1)

p>

Yeah~~ Over 200 updates, thank you for your enthusiastic attention and support. Your attention is the motivation for me to continue to update

In ancient times, stoves were second only to beds in homes. It is an important part of the fire pit. I just helped the empire to capture the Duntest Fortress. After regaining the fortress, I saw the stove and felt the need to write down the details of the stove.

1 Fire pit, the most basic stove, is the most familiar to everyone. The best fire pit is in Fengzhai. It is mostly used in small houses where the smoke exhaust is not smooth. Over time, there will be a thick layer of soot on the roof. It is more common in medieval houses, such as Vikings. It's not convenient to cook, you have to use a shelf to hang the pot

2. The large fire pit is more elegant than the small fire pit, and there are stones built on the side. It is generally used in houses with relatively large space. It is often found in longhouses of various lords, as well as taverns and hotels. It has many uses. First, it is cooking (nonsense...). You can make relatively large dishes, such as installing a grill to roast whole lamb, or even roasting whole beef (see Songgard), or by the fire pit. Heat the food in the pan.

For example, in the hotel in Ivarstede, you can see a pot-bellied iron pot with legs next to the fire pit, which can be used for cooking on the fire pit. Some large fire pits also have flat iron racks that can be used to grill food like the barbecues we see today. I remember that there was one next to the fire pit in the Comrade Corps

The second is to heat the fire. In the cold sky, entering a warm room from the cold outside will make you feel much more comfortable. If there is a large firepit in the center of the longhouse, it would be a pleasure to sit around the fire and drink. Especially in the Middle Ages when there was a lack of entertainment, the firepit, which could accumulate popularity, was also an important social place. Therefore, in the tavern and the lord's hall, there will be such a large and burning fire pit.

The most typical one is the big fire pit of the comrades group (again, the comrades group), drinking and fighting, life is so pleasant

There are also the longhouses of the great lords. Large fire pits with the same purpose

Details of 202 stoves (2)

We talked about large fire pits earlier. Of course, there are also several places without fire pits

There are no such places as the Blue Palace and Windhelm City Palace, because compared to other lords’ halls, the Blue Palace and Windhelm City are both used as royal palaces, not only for eating and drinking, but also for lords to receive and The function of handling affairs, so having a firepit with oily smoke reduced the majesty of the Wang family.

But there are differences between Windhelm City and Dugu City. Windhelm City was a royal city thousands of years ago and still retains the customs of the Nords, and Laowu considers himself a true Nord. Therefore, in the throne hall of Windhelm City, in addition to the throne, there is also a long dining table. This should be regarded as a compromise from previous Nordic customs.

And Dugu City is the current royal city. Compared with other Nord cities, I think it is closer to the imperial style of Cyrodiil and has important political and ritual significance. Therefore, the throne hall of Dugu City is not There may be things like a firepit or even a dining table that would detract from the dignity of the Wang family.

There is also a lord hall without a fire pit, which is Valqiha Castle... Vampires eat people directly, and there is a dead person on the table, so we might as well avoid the burden of a fire pit. Varchiha Castle is the castle I find most disgusting when I enter it, bar none.
