Unit experence points

[Mad Mike]

playing monguls and having spent a long time at war pillaging and burning my mighty enemys citys, improvments and pillaging there land and destroying there units. i eventually managed to get a few kesheks up up 152 experence points. these units were the bane of my enemy.
How ever as time goes by i managed to resurch the tecks for knights this was great. my 6 strength kesheks were to be up graded to knights of 10 strength with i thought 150 odd experence points -just say 140 /150 experence to go to next level approx.
to my horror appon upgrading i lost all my experence and still had to get 150 experence - top get a upgrade.
now i am not sure if this a glitch or a fault or not but it is very annoying.
so the only way to get around it is to either wait till u get to the level of points for a unit upgrade and then pay to upgrade the unit!!!(sounds confusing)

i will leave u to ponder this..

Not a bug. There is a setting in GlobalDefines.xml controlling how much experience units get to keep when upgrading.

Units always drop to 10 experience when upgraded, that's the way it was designed. They do retain their level and promotions when upgraded though.

Mine seems to retain all their experience when upgraded. The settings file someone mentioned - can that be changed through the game, or is it necessary to edit the file directly - it seems strange that different people have different settings if one has to go out of ones way to change things.
