Flexibility and Limitation in Steppe Formations: The Kerait Khanate and Chinggis Khan though I did modify them to fit within the limitations of the game. The real ranks are too long to fit within the text boxes for difficulty. For example...BiteNibbleChomp wrote:Interesting .
But, where did you find all this out? (So I have somewhere better than wiki and some video for research)

The real titles.
Arban-u Darga
Jagutu-iin Darga
Chinggis Khan in his reformations copied Chinese military rank structure. Darga appears to be (there is no ancient Mongolian translator available) the Mongolian translation of the Chinese Duifu (Lieutenant) and Duizhu (Captain). They also command the same number of men in each army.
Minggan-u Noyan
Tumetu-iin Noyan
Noyan again appears to be the translation of the Chinese ranks for the same sized units. Jinzhou (Colonel) and Jiangjun (General).
Finally I took a leap in history (and European simplification) for the rank of Khan. When Chinggis led the empire the proper term for an Ordu commander would be Orlok. However no one without a background in Mongol military history would know that. So instead I jumped into the late 1300s when many of the upper echelon of the Mongol nobility used various derivations of the title Khan, which Europeans ignored the intricacies of and shortened to Khan (so there were dozens of different Khans according to Europe) as they had with previous Turkic nomads.
