My sligners, especially the Rhodian ones, get about one experience every relatively large battle while suffering no casualties. It is quite common for me to win battles with less than 5 casualties due to the slingers and pikes I employ. Unless I am heavily outnumbered and outclassed, I will not suffer more than 30 casualties per battle. I am very careful and cautious in all the wargames I play. Unlike in RL, that actually pays off.
By now, my slingers have two-three silver chevrons and fought only about less than fifteen battles of varying size. My generals all have at least two silver chevrons, but going beyond that is quite difficult.

My cavalry always manages to get into the silver chevrons fairly quickly. The hammer and anvil tactic and the running down of routers gives them enough xp. The rest of my army is quite lacking that xp however :s
same here. I use my general as my main killing force. Most of the rest pin. Once I push an advantage I envelope with infantry and gut any routers with cavalry.

In my Casse campaign, my slingers reign over the battle with 6 chevrons. None of my melee troops come close, except for one unit of naked spearmen that has been badly mauled since the beginning of my campaign.

My Casse campaign, I never built any cavalry units for the first 40 years or so and my main army consisted of all silver chevroned Kluddabro, Gaeroas, and the southern gallic swordsmen whatever their name is... A few skirmishers out front makes the enemy infantry charge, losing stamina, my infantry defeat them after a scrum, often after a flanking attack from my skirmishers, and then have better stamina to chase them down. If I return to that campaign, my original army is in northern Italy campaigning against the Romani who love throwing EXP, I mean Illyroi Pantatopoi against me.
