Academy of War -- Enter for Training ?!?!

[PhilD]

Nice chart... are the XP requirements per level, or cumulative? (i.e., does it take 50 or 65 XP for a fresh unit to get 2 stars?)

Also, do spells that hit count for XP? if so, at which rate? (one per hit, or one per spell max)

I've seen lowly Priests enter the Hall of Fame after a few meetings with Ermorian armies, but I never paid too much interest to their experience stars, just the big red one - and kills count a lot for that, and Banishment kills a lot of Longdeads.

I've noticed some of my mages getting bonuses to their magic ability (as in +1 death, etc, per empowerment) seemingly as a result of experience. It doesn't seem to happen 100% consistently, however. Anyone else seeing this happening?

It seems winning the arena championships gives exp. If I don't recall wrong my guy jumped from 0 exp stars to 3 stars winning that.

Winning in the death match gives 100xp IIRC.

Per-Level requirement.

..do spells that hit count for XP?

AFAIK, no.
Neither do missile hits.

.. priests ..

Can easily get into the Hall of Fame when fighting Ermor, but not because of spell hits but because of "killed" (banished) longdead etc. - they get 100 kills or more quite fast

.. some of my mages getting bonuses to their magic ability ..

Haven't see this.
AFAIK the only way to get +1 death is by coming back via "Twiceborn" spell. The mage might end up with "feebleminded" or "mute" affliction, and therefore useless, as well, though ...

Are you sure it wasn't a starting random that you didn't notice until later?
