It seems as the Leadership promo does not work properly on Veteran Soldiers.

I have a Veteran 4/5 XP. Attack @ 73%. He's 6/5 XP after. A 73% attack is a 2 XP fight on its own, isn't it ? So with Leadership he should get 4 ?

Does he have a GG? I thought you needed a GG and Leadership to get the +100% XP?

I mean these Veteran Soldiers you can buy in Europe, that come with Leadership promotion.
I knid of expected the promotion to be working as delivered...
Where is the point having the promotion on these Vets, if i can't use it without attaching a GG first ?

In the pedia it states the requirement is led by GG.

No idea why they have the promotion to begin with, but it is working properly.

That is requirement for "normal" unit to get Leadership.

But Veterans are supposed to get it for free. Isn't that a whole point of buying them for 1500gp, with +300gp increases (without ability to train then or upgrade them like in Col1).

Just getting Comabt1 for that money would never be worth it. Ever...

Ok, i had a deeper look into it.
Leadership IS working - sorry my bad.

Something else might still be is broken:

Basicly EVERY fight for land units is a 1 XP fight.
They have set
<iXPValueAttack>0</iXPValueAttack>
<iXPValueDefense>0</iXPValueDefense>
making every fight XP default to MIN_EXPERIENCE_PER_COMBAT - which is 1.

Except from this are Cannon and Naval units, which have
<iXPValueAttack>4</iXPValueAttack>
<iXPValueDefense>2</iXPValueDefense>

Making them have Civ4 style XP.

I can not be sure now if it is by design or by oversight, but it certainly feels odd.
It means that a Dragoon or Soldier will allways get the same Amount of XP - one from every fight. Veterans will get 2 per fight.
Regardless the odds or any other conditions.
