I fully agree, that's what I meant by "suspicious".
Don't have any information yet about how many XP you need, but I have seen units gain 4-5XP in one single action and the Armory building gives +15XP, so I'd estimate the first promotion comes at around 10 XP. I have a hunch it will be more linear than quadratic, but maybe that's just wishful thinking. Units gain XP for receiving damage for ranged attacks as well (1XP per damage), and I would expect a unit to gain more XP if it wins against the odds.

You guys have no idea what it's like to release a major game and so you have no business telling 2K how best to proceed. It's not your paychecck on the line if something goes awry, it's theirs. They also own the property and what they say goes.
2K may not be able to take any legal action against Azazell, but they can black-list him and tell other devs that he refused to cooperate with a request to remove sensative information, and then he's pretty much done as a professional reviewer. So he too must be allowed to do what he feels is right to protect his meal ticket. Same for Thunderfall.
That being said, I too would've liked for the information to have remained available. I'm no longer a big enough fan to care enough to have saved all the screenshots, but maybe someone else did. I was hoping Arioch would be able to make use of the information and analyze it, but unfortunately he's got to be rid of it too.
Some of what I saw in the screenies made me want the game more than I did before, which wasn't really that much to begin with, so it may have tipped me over the edge. If I could've seen a more detailed analysis, the deciding factor might've been in there.

Actually Arioch doesnt have to get rid of anything, even if he does I still have all the important stuff on my own screenshots, and I will release my knowledge to whomever I want whenever I want. Arioch doesn't have any screen shots, merely a few tiny art pictures which barely number over 15 from Azazells information and lots of knowledge, knowledge can't be contained, all Azazell can do is remove the data he wasn't supposed to release from his official site, he need not chase up the whole internet to be "clean" as it were.
Anyway, this topic really is irrelevant to this thread.
......................
Yes the "Heal Instantly - Instead of Upgrade" upgrade was from a Rocket Artillery not a Janissary, the Janissary ability is different, it gets a "Instant Heal" each time it Kills a non-barbarian unit. A very cool ability indeed, using ranged units to soften defenders a Janissary can then come in and kill it and still be full health for any counter attack or a continuation of the push the next turn. That will be a unit you will want to finish off and not leave "half alive".

Someone commented on another thread after seeing the Ottoman UUs something along the lines of "When the Renaissance comes around I hope the Ottomans are on the other side of the world." Probably the same place you hope the Greeks are in late Ancient-early Classical and the Romans slightly later.

University gives +2 research from jungle tiles?

I find that strange.

Or Russians from medieval till the modern era
At least the Russians only have one UU, instead of two UUs at the same time. Even though they will have a lot of them, it might be possible to set up a defensive position that is hard to take. Far harder to do that against two different kind of UUs.
I think that may be a bug. The Siamese have a unique replacement for the University (the Wat), and I have the feeling the stats for those two buildings got swapped.

I don't think it's strange for jungles to give research at all. They're full of plants, animals, and fungi to study.
Meh, the Russian UB may very well give much more starting XP, thus making thier standard units decent enough to take on UU's of other civ's, especially if you are bringing 2x the number of strategic units.
That's a very modern viewpoint. Universities become available in the Medieval era, when they had no interest in studying the local plants, animals and fungi. Universities in the middle ages studied books.
but but books are made from jungles, I note that involves chopping down and not preserving jungles 
.
Perhaps the jungles help keep the scientists motivated, RESEARCH PETTY LITTLE SCIENTIST OR I WILL THROW YOU INTO THE DEADLY JUNGLE, "yes sir, mister crazy dictator sir."

Yeah, I think the jungle bonus should be locked until some much more modern tech. Penicillin maybe?

Arioch, I am readng your site, and
at Unit Actions you write:
"Enter City (Garrison)
(Enter the city to become a garrison, increasing the city's defensive strength.)"
I believe that a unit garrisoning the city increases the Combat Strength of the city!
(check the german Gamestar video at ca. 01:45)
well, maybe it increases the city health bar, too - I dunno

The two are the same thing. I'll change the text, thanks for the correction.
