POLL: Should gold purchased units start with half as much XP as trained units?

[Recursive]

Exactly what the title says. Currently if a unit is purchased with Gold instead of trained or purchased with Faith, they start with half of the XP that they would normally get (from Barracks, etc).

Should we keep this mechanic?

I would also add that any Faith-purchased unit should also start with half of the XP, to reflect the fact they were rushed.

I will make a separate poll for that.

Have you considered instead of buying units, investing in them, so they cost half production and with full XP? Just like with buildings.

Note that Freedom has a tenet that allows full XP gold purchases, and Authority has units that can only be purchased with gold and also get full XP.

Without knowing why you want to change this, I default to "half XP".

True. In that case units would be bought instantly with full XP

The vote is clear, thank you everyone. It will stay as-is.

I don't, the poll was to confirm community desire for the mechanic.

I would like to amend this a tiny bit and say that I think Venice should have an exception for this.

I guess these 2 features should be slightly buffed if half xp is the baseline, otherwise they are just half as attractive

Half XP is already the baseline, and has been for years.
