Urrah! another xp topic!

AFAIK the bodyguards getting 3 gold chevrons is due to the starving trait which causes a reduction in BG valour (xp), when this gives a negative values you see the 3 gold chevron thing.

I am not sure how this would work in engine terms. I am thinking: maybe the engine does not forget/erase the experience of killed soldiers in unit? So that instead of getting zero experience, the new recruits get the experience of whatever soldier they replace.

The way I have heard it the new soldiers come in with the same experience level as the unit, not sure if that is correct though.

Do they actually work as 3 gold chevrons?

Yeah, long time ago I got my 19 y old KH strategos suddenly gain 9 gold chevrons... I try them to charge two Epeiros Hypaspistai frontally, and they still emerge victorious... maybe (just a suggestion), we should made a hidden trait for every general, give them free 2 chevrons, so they won't turn into 9 chevron general unit just by besieging settlements...

That would probably lead to more annoying AI general kamikazes, making them run through phalanx thanks to the extra xp....
