This is more a question for modders than map scripters . but for the gain of xp ,it should be easy by changing CvEventManager.py :

- you can check every unit ,every turn if it is on a certain plot in : onBeginGameTurn ,onEndGameTurn , onBeginPlayerTurn , onEndPlayerTurn or any event that occur every turn .

- or you can check the plot in : onUnitMove

this depend on what you want to do . (but i'm sure an expert modder can give you more advice )

to change the plot in the current of the game , i try one time to do that and i had an error telling me that the plot generation was done and can't be changed .So i can't tell you more on this , you need the held of an expert modder .

tcho!

An example that give 1 XP for each unit that are on a hill at the end turn :

change CvEventManager.py :

	def onEndGameTurn(self, argsList):
		'Called at the end of the end of each turn'
		iGameTurn = argsList[0]
		map=CyMap()
                iW = map.getGridWidth()
                iH = map.getGridHeight()
                for iX in range(iW):
                        for iY in range(iH):
                                pLoopPlot=map.plot(iX,iY)
                                if pLoopPlot.isHills():
                                        for idUnit in range(pLoopPlot.getNumUnits()):
                                                unit=pLoopPlot.getUnit(idUnit)
                                                if unit.canAcquirePromotionAny():
                                                        unit.changeExperience(1,unit.maxXPValue())

Tcho !

EDIT : you can surely check each unit instead of each plot in this case . that may be faster but that depend on the number of plot you want to affect .
