Your commander and units under his command will gain experience.

Do 100% of the troops entering gain an experience star? What about if they re-enter -- can they gain additional experience stars?

This is from Dominions II and most likely hasn't been changed at all:

EXPERIENCE

Kristoffer O posted February 23, 2004 22:14
"Does anyone know how a kill coresponds to an XP on the hall of fame?"
Not sure but something like this:

Deaths x5
Experience (points, not lvl) x2
Kills x1

From a post by Johan O in another thread:

Here is a list of effects of increased experience.
XP 1 (15pts = 1 Star)
Att +1
Def +1
Prec +1
Mrl +1

XP 2 (50pts. = 2 Stars)
Att +1
Def +1
Prec +1
Mrl +1

XP 3 (100pts = 3 Stars)
Att +1
Def +1
Prec +1
Mrl +1
Str +1

XP 4 (200pts = 4 Stars)
Att +1
Def +1
Prec +1
Mrl +1
Enc -1
HP +2

XP 5 (400pts = 5 Stars)
Att +1
Def +1
Prec +1
Mrl +1
Str +1

All units, except mindless ones, get:
1 exp per turn
+1 exp for participating in a battle
+3 exp for winning a battle
+1 exp per unit killed in melee combat

Kristoffer O posted January 27, 2004 17:41
Not +1 for killing, but +1 for hitting an enemy. Quick Nataraja with 4 swords of swiftness, Chi Shoes and Stone Bird.

Arralen
Champions Skull: +3 Exp/turn

Re: Academy of War question [Re: FarAway Pretender]
Academy of War gives 4 exp per turn, The Ancient Master gives 8. (to commanders AND troops!! - Arr.)
Academy of War is not unique, and it is still a level 0 Blood site. The Ancient Master is unique.

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.
