Experience points and figuring out all those little numbers

[davidpsummers]

The Game gives experience points before and after a slash. I thought there was just one number for exp. points, why are there two?

Also, a general question, is there someplace one can go to figure out all the different little numbers that appear in all the different parts of the screen?

number on the left is the XP earned/number on the right is what you need to reach the next level/promotion

hmmm...actually not sure on the second question. I just kinda learned as I played. Some things are a bit obvious when you think about it, but yeah, some things can be quite confusing for new players.

Do you use BUG/BULL mod? The mod changes the UI significantly and I think they have a wiki that explains much of it.

Otherwise, if there is something you can't figure out I would just collect a bunch of questions and ask it here. Screenshots help.

Don't know what the BUG/BULL mod is...

Thanks for the info on experiences. So I guess West Point needs 5 _levels_ or promotions?

The questions work, but there is a lag in waiting for an answer.

BUG/BULL as well as BAT, can be found here:

BUG

I highly recommend installing BUG/BULL in custom assets and using it. Blue Marble is nice too. These mods do not alter gameplay just the UI and graphics(Blue Marble). Many here use them. The install in custom assets does not conflict with other mods when you play forum games.

A GG medic will get you Heroic Epic. By the time West Point rolls around I usually have a unit or two at level 5 or higher. I rarely build West Point regardless.

Be patient. I think you will find that you will often get very fast responses here.
