Military-Style Medals for Ratkin
Thanks to browncofe’s amazing mod for inspiring me! While playing their mod, I felt something was missing, so I decided to design my own medals.
The nations borrow names from their mod, and the medals are based on real WWI-era medals. Some descriptions or actual effects have been adjusted for gameplay purposes.
I recommend loading this mod together with browncofe’s military-style aesthetic mod:

This is my first mod, so my skills are limited. All stats are filled manually — feedback is welcome, but please be gentle~

Notes
To make the medals more visible in-game, I made them larger than their real-life proportions, including chest-worn and neck-worn medals.
The Grand Iron Cross is especially enlarged for visual effect, so its placement may be slightly off.
In WWI, many medals were not strictly military, and noble ranks allowed different levels and ways of wearing them (stars, ribbons, etc.).
For simplicity and consistent style, I only kept chest-worn and neck-worn variants.
Some medals may not perfectly match their historical ranks (though at this small scale, details are hard to see).
Any feedback on accuracy or mistakes is greatly appreciated!
