An intriguing idea, SwordsMaster. It would actually make a lot of sense to model experience the way you describe. As you got to know your fellow mates in your unit, you would be better aware of what they're like and what they're capable of in combat, which would indeed almost certainly improve both morale and overall fighting ability. While it's probably already too late to add such a two-tiered experience system to ETW, it would still be very interesting to see something like this implemented.
