Maxing the Chevrons?

[Aemilius Paulus]

For some reason, the auto-calculator is very generous in handing out experience.

Yeah, but at the same time it is equally, if not even much more generous in handing out casualties .

I heard it was something to do with the xp from the battle being spread out equally amoung the soldiers.

A couple of my Iaosatae are already at 2 gold chevrons, and on their way to 3. It's possible. Hate having them lose men though--they lose experience everytime I have to merge troops at the frontline.

My slingers (sphendonetai) always ends up with gold chevrons, 8 or 9. But melee infantry units seemed to had at best silver (only elites that I always used at every battles get gold). Cavalries seemed easy to gain to silver, but getting gold is not as easy... Well, nomadic FM's usually got gold easily, and I get some Katanks getting gold by slamming them against pantodapoi several times, but the fastest unit that gain 9 chevrons is......

Seriously, when you start using these guys, they had ap swords, javelins and good speed to mop up routers, giving the hellenic factions lack of acessible HA's I use them to patrol my border and chewing up minor enemy incursions, whith several hippeis serve as primary line breakers.

Well i think i really do have to send back my triarii to Roma for yet another re-training seeing they are now down to 18 men even after slaughtering another 324 enemy soldiers they still remain at 8 experience

Oh well at the least i can FINALLY enjoy having a 10 Star FM!! Scipio has finally maxed it Weee!

Why exactly do you so very wish to get maximum chevrons?

[miotas]

HA's get 9 chevrons quite easily. I've never had infantry get more than 4 or 5 chevrons.

So that i'l keep the unit as something to remind me of the Camillan Era. And yes i want it shiny having maxed experience gives a sense of awe
