Retrained units the same, FAQ unclear ...

[_Tristan_]

Never saw it happen... either in RTW or M2TW... One of the reason I'm sure to check off the "auto-merge units" option...

I just had a look in the MTW2 manual and it says: "Due to still unexperienced recruits, the experience of the retrained depleted unit may decrease." (own translation from german manual)
Now, whatever that "may" means, I can only guess.

Edit: And why is that "mexica sunrise" in my headline?

that's the bottom of Tristan's sig, it's very long

Finally, I have been able to take some screenshots of units being retrained and losing experience in the process. This is the first time I'm posting images, so I hope this works...



Here I've taken the only Alemanni settlement and my levy spearmen (1 silver chevron) need retraining. I also demolished the holy grove of Frigg that I conquered and build a shrine of Woden ( +1 recruits exp).



One turn later, the units are retrained. Notice how two of the levy spearmen lost one exp?

Either this happens when a unit is somewhat depleted or it has to do with structures giving a "recruits experience bonus". In the latter case one might consider it being a bug.

Is this topic really so annoying?
