personally i still fancy the good old dynamic and relative ranks, as opposed to #numbered ranks
Following on from the discussion here http://bugs.battlemaster.org/view.php?id=4813Executive summary is that if the founder of a religion goes inactive/deletes/dies then the #1 rank is lost forever, as are any other ranks above the level of the next highest member. That members rank also becomes uneditable. Usually it isn't too serious a problem, but its immersion breaking and annoying. There's been suggestions of complicated ways to select a new #1 ranking member, but my suggestion is to keep it simple.Create a new option for Senior Members at Temples called "assume leadership". When you click the link, it checks to see if there's anyone above you in rank and if there isn't it promotes you, or everyone at your level, to rank #1. On reflection, I prefer the idea of promoting everyone at your level, simply to remove the race-to-click-the-button aspect
Without a founder, rank #2 can not be edited. And due to various reason I think some people would want that possibility.
or just clone #1 to #0 and then remove a few powers from #1 that are founder only (whatever distinguish founder from run of the mill leaders).. leaving #1 to be occupied by 1 person only at any time.
