Description:

Drill Sergeant lets you set the training speed of your soldiers as you like.

This mod features:

• two different training methods with finetune options
• a brand new sector operation to slowly gain wisdom by reading a book
• an option to make the skill learnig cuve harder
• an option to increase natural skill gain in combat
• an option to increase skill gain from reading skill books
• an option to give bonus level XP on sector operations and combat skill gain

Go to Options -> Mod-Settings and select the training settings as you prefer.

The following options are available:

1. Selected Training Method:
   • Method 1 (Speed):
     Switch to Speed training method. (See "Method 1: Training Speed" setting)
   • Method 2 (Wisdom):
     Dynamic training speed depending on student merc’s wisdom. Smart mercs train faster and dumb mercs train slower.
     (See "Method 2: Wisdom Impact" setting)

2. Method 1: Training Speed:
   Select training speed from x0.75 / x0.5 / normal / x2 / x5 / x10 as you like.
   Only effective if "Method 1 (Speed)" is selected.
3. Method 2: Wisdom Impact:
   Select the impact that the merc’s wisdom stat should have on the training speed.
   Only effective if "Method 2 (wisdom)" is selected.

   You can see from this table how fast a merc’s training speed is, based on his wisdom.
   The harder you set the widsom impact setting the slower the overall training will be and "stupid" mercs will have a much bigger training penalty.

   Activating this option makes training harder for mercs, the higher the mercs stat get.
   If the student merc’s to be trained skill reaches a certain amount, he gets less EXP during the sector training operation
   skill 0 – 29 = 50% EXP required to level up
   skill 30 – 49 = 75% EXP required to level up
   skill 50 – 69 = 100% EXP required to level up
   skill 70 – 89 = 150% EXP required to level up
   skill 90 – 100 = 200% EXP required to level up
   This option works in combination with all other settings.
