As mentioned before, I am slowly playing around with HitM. One feature I do not like is that unit XPs are set back to a maximum of 10 when upgraded. So a) I must spend all XPs before upgrading and b) I may lose several XPs. For example when I upgrade a 16 XP unit I can only spend 10, and 6 are lost, or I have to wait until the unit got to 17.

Does anybody know how to remove that feature ?
 
In the folder Assets/XML there is a file GlobalDefines.XML and there may be one called GlobalDefinesAlt.XML.

In there there should be code
Code:
    <Define>
        <DefineName>MAX_EXPERIENCE_AFTER_UPGRADE</DefineName>
        <iDefineIntVal>xx</iDefineIntVal>
    </Define>
the xx is the value the exp is set down to when you upgrade a unit. This is normal behaviour. The idea is that the upgraded unit has all new tactics, strategy, weapons and armour so only a little of what it had is useful now.

This is normal Civ IV behaviour. (I think changing the value to -1 will make it so that your unit does not loose any exp, but it breaks the game in my opinion).
