Ranked mode information
I managed to convert AOE4's texture files (.rrtex) today (open source here), and stumbled upon the icons used for ranked mode. Looks like the ranks are Bronze->Silver->Gold->Platinum->Diamond->Conquerer (as /u/-MugenNoSora- already figured out earlier here) and there will be 5 placement matches.
