Unit Experience

[afrit]

But remember that generals in RTW die of old age and are not replaced (the green_generals option in MTW, which was off by default). That is if the AI doesn;t kill them for you in multi-general battle (which I avoid like the plague).

I like the RTW mechanism better, although it is a bit too easy. Also, the AI somehow never gets high stars (unlike in MTW where the Byz had awesome generals).

You do get exper for just being in a battle. Had a Principles unit that just sat out a battle (one of many he had been in) get an exper level with zero kills to his credit. So, being on site and watching the archers/cav do all the work will improve your infantry.

I have had 3 battles now where units got a level of experience, without killing a single enemy soldier or losing a single man from their unit.

Same observation here. Makes sense too because experienced soldiers know the aftermath of routing
