Veteran Unit Experience reduced
What this mod does?
It reduces the experience needed for military units to rank up and normalized the bonuses. The original experience required was…
Rank 1 – 500
Rank 2 – 1000
Rank 3 – 1600
Rank 4 – 2400
Rank 5 – 3400
Rank 6 – 4600
Rank 7 – 6600
Rank 8 – 9800
Rank 9 – 15000
… and I have changed it to
Rank 1 – 400
Rank 2 – 800
Rank 3 – 1200
Rank 4 – 1600
Rank 5 – 2000
Rank 6 – 2400
Rank 7 – 2800
Rank 8 – 3200
Rank 9 – 3600
I’ve simply reduced the experience amount required and normalized the increases.
Secondly, I also normalized the bonuses of melee attack/defense and morale. They used to be a +7 bonus at rank 9 and now they are a +9, increasing 1 for each rank. Lastly, at rank 5 units received a -1 fatigue bonus and at rank 9 it was -3. I changed this to -1 at rank 5 and -5 at rank 9.
Why?
I disliked how high ranking units consistently lost ranks even though they were fighting often and surviving battles. I wanted to make units that survive more battles to be more valuable, without making them overpowered. I wanted to simply remove experience decay but I couldn’t figure out how so I did this instead. I also normalized the bonuses because I am OCD.
This is my first ever mod so if you find any problems with it in your campaigns, please let me know!
