hey, remember when this was a once-a-week question, and now its down to once every other month. what ever happened to that FAQ someone was going to write?

thats okay, without frequently repeated questions, how would we ever introduce new community members? shoot, i bet most people would just go away if we had all the easy answers in a FAQ, why would they ever post on the Boards?

to summarize all the comments i remember about this topic: the docs and Messages from the developers suggest that it is supposed to convey some small benefit at very very high experience levels. pracitcal experience from players says it does not do squat at any level. speculation suggests that it will do something in a later Version or in an later patch, but it does not do anything right now. one player THOUGHT that he saw the ministers adapting better to his play style and thus becoming more usefull to him as he gained experince. this is highly unverified, but would be cool if it were true.

all in all, there is a 98% chance that the XP level does not do a darned thing, and never will. 1% chance it will do something later, .05% chance the ministers adapt to your playstyle, and .05% chance that it does something else as otherwise unlisted above.

thanks, and no, most people on this board are very friendly, its just me who is an ***.

edit: dont forget about bragging rights. if you have an ancient race in a multiplayer game, you just look alot cooler than all the newborn loosers. (since i make a new race for almost every game, i dont look all that cool)
