Upgrades of medals will replace the previously awarded medal on the medal page. Above staged medals are denoted by being under each other without spaces.
Overall above there are 17 different medals to be obtained
Once you have obtained a medal, even if you lose the requirment then you still keep the medal (excluding some of the alliance medals which depend on your current alliance)
On the medals tab in the player profile, I would like to see a table based assortment of the medals, when any player moves the mouse cursor over the medal picture, the title of the medal can show along with the description of how you obtained it.
When you go to the medals tab the above occurs with the addition of details showing the requirments for the next staged medal if one exists.
And I would rather see emblems rather than medals with ribbons attached but thats just my opinion
as a kind of starting point
Some of the above medals are incomplete as more ideas are needed,
And I got stuck on the naming of the medals <.<
I could adjust it based of future posts if its a good basis...
