==Overview==


==Overview==
Badges are used to quickly identify [[Staff]] or various forms of [[Citizen]] on [[Total War Center]]. More rarely seen are the badges of [[Curial Officers]]. The site has a long history with its badges, dating back to the beginning of the site and appearing in different designs as the site has changed. Redesigns often corroborated with a site theme or recent game release, though this practice has slipped in recent years.


Total War Center members who hold certain staff positions or awards can choose to wear the badges associated with them. These badges have changed in appearance in order to be of a style related to various ''[[Total War]]'' games; in order of use, these were ''[[Rome: Total War]]'', ''[[Medieval II: Total War]]'', ''[[Empire: Total War]]'', and most recently ''[[Total War: Rome 2]]''.
Users are also distinguished by the color of their name, and additional badges or roles can be seen below the primary badge they identify as (unless they choose none, in which case only the group names are seen). Users who are [[moderators]] or [[administrators]] are always primarily identified by those badges, otherwise users have agency how to display their groups.


Some of these awards, e.g.; [[Citizen]] & [[Patrician]] are defined in the TWC [[Constitution]] and awarded by the [[Curia]]
The update to xenForo in 2025 allowed multiple badges to be displayed per user, with links to an explanation about each category, as seen in the example below:


Members who hold office to perform various tasks wear badges to show their role. Officers can be divided into [[Curial Officers]] and [[Staff|Staff Officers]].
[[File:Xenforo-badges.jpg]]  


Most Honorary Awards are now shown as [[Curia_Awards#Large_Awards|Large Medals]] in a users profile instead of as badges.


                             
Some badges from the vBulletin version of the site are shown below. The Troy style badges previously used on the forum were removed at the artist's request, see [https://www.twcenter.net/threads/akar-image-replacement.822894 here], the badges shown below came second in the competition held to choose Troy themed badges.
