Ditto...good stuff, Edward! Thanks for the clear explanation. I guess this explains in rather obvious terms why my equites gain experience at a fast pace as they continually run down routing units...

I still wish there were a more...I dunno...elegant method by which experience is gained, aside from this simpler approach. As I said before, those units that fend off a furious assault, even if the number of kills they enjoy is relatively slight, should be able to gain experience more readily than another less steadfast unit. I recently had a few principes and triarii hold off repeated charges from two Qarthadast bodyguard cavalry units...while the casualties were slight, the cav finally beat a retreat...no experienced gained among the infantry...
