Medal Awards

In that screenshot, are those AND or OR conditions? Would a recipient of a Silver Star need to destroy military shipping, civilian shipping, and ground troops, or would they earn one just by doing any of the three?

IIRC, all conditions are OR conditions. Fulfilling any of the conditions is enough.

Any of the three.

Here is the updated Medal window using Ribbons.  This is a screenshot from my new campaign.

Ok, here are some suggestions for renaming some of the medals/ribbons:

Imperial Navy Cross = Grand Imperial Navy Cross
Distinguished Service Cross = Terra Sword of War Cross
Silver Star = Imperium Medal of Gallantry
The Triple Skull = Order of Valorous Service
*Purple Heart = No individual award for surviving the loss of a ship against an enemy of the Imperium
Bronze Star = Imperium Medal for Service (non-combat) or Valor (combat)
*Meritorious Service Medal = The Imperium Medal of Service would cover this award

* Denotes that medal should be rescinded.

Just some ideas to remove some of the references to medals we have today.

Here are a list of medals from WH40k. I've included a few but I decided to use the US-style medals to cover the full range of awards (plus I have good graphics for them). I like most of your suggestions though so I will make the changes.

Just a question but will the medal names be editable by us if we want to go with a different naming scheme?

[Hazard]

Medals are completely customizable.

Oh, I thought you made those up and then threw in a couple from our current military award system.  Is it possible if you made a baseline award like "Imperium Medal for Service", but if the player decides to name his empire "Victoria", that the award would automatically be named "Victoria Medal for Service"?

[JacenHan]

There are no "default" medals. You make them all from scratch and can name them however you want.

What are the medal conditions?

I have in the past awarded medals to new officers based on their promotion score. I.E. 500+ gets a Honor Graduate ribbon.

This is the list at the moment, although I think I added a couple more since then.

Hello,

Will it be possible to award a medal to every officier in a TF or Fleet group ?

EDIT : I found the info, it wil be doable

Would it be possible to have medals with negative promotion score?

like: a Medal for a commander to survive the destruction of his ship (you are a hero, you survived - good puplic relation) but with negative promotion score (you lost a ship !... you will never be promoted again)

Interesting idea, effectively a "demerit" medal. I can see other times it could be useful as well, for keeping your hotshot fighter aces low-ranked enough to keep flying fighters etc...

Yes, that works with the current mechanics in both VB6 and C#.
