(SUGGESTION) Different ways to acquire experience

from Elemental Forums

From what I can see, currently the only way for your Soveriegn to gain experience is by him personally killing things.  This almost forces one to use their channeller in a combat role.  We need other methods of acquiring experience so that our channeler can level up without being a combatant.

Kind of going off of this as well, I would like to reiterate the point made on at least a couple of other suggestion threads to allow us to choose what aspects of our channeller advance (or have it shaped by how he/she gained the experience) rather than just have blanket increases in statistics across the board.

The same should apply for other units, like scouts. Scouts should acquiere experience by scotuing, exploring dungeons, finding resouces and so on.

But we also mus t take into account that the objetive of this beta is not to test game mechanics, so maybe these things are already implemented and waiting to be tested in other beta stages.

Being a Channeler, you actually get a fraction of the experience gained by your trained units. You'll be able to raise the percentage gained though this 'passive' experience through the tech tree IIRC.

I noticed I gained a level when my troops took out a giant or an oger or something.  But maybe they should gain 1 xp per turn just to move it along?  Later levels won't be affected but perhaps it'll prevent our heroes getting owned a la warcraft 3 style.
