How to XP up units?

[Marquis of Roland]

I think muskets need to do LESS damage. It's crazy seeing so many guys drop per volley that forcing a melee is the best way to minimize damage.

Its so hard to xp units without using exploits (unlimited town citizen spawn) that it kills a large part of the game for me

I meant there should be a bigger difference in accuracy and damage between militia volleys and line infantry volleys, because militia were causing too many casualties to my line infantry. I am all for line infantry outgunning militia lol. I was going to drop the difficulty down to medium to see if it helps, which i haven't done yet
