Opifex was previously counted as a rank on TWC, subsequent to an amendment made in July 2007 the award is now regarded as part of the Community Medals section of the constitution.

Members of TWC who have been awarded the Opifex medal are currently identified on the forum by wearing the following badge (if they choose to display it in place of other ranks):

The badge will be replaced by a medal in the side bar of the user panel when a suitable graphic becomes available.

The Opifex medal is granted to those who contribute to the Total War Center forums in an exceptional way - usually for work on modifications for the total war series of games.

Opifex

To qualify as Opifex, the nominee must meet the following Criteria:

Served the Total War Center or Total War Community with exceptional input to any of the boards or mods in any capacity other than staff.
The nominee must be seconded by a member of the Consilium de Civitate before it can go to a vote. Vote shall be refused to any user who fails the criteria for citizenship with regard to warnings and post count.

Qualifying nominees shall be voted upon in the Curia for a period of one week, and a three-fourth majority will be sufficient to decorate a user as an Opifex. A user who passes the vote shall be awarded the rank of Citizen (if the nominee was not one already). A nominee who fails to achieve a three-fourth majority is eligible to be nominated again after a three month period.

The secondary rank – Civitate, Artifex or Patrician is the one that determines where the member has access or the legibility for elections, unless stated differently.
