OK I have been wondering a bit about how the exp is working, and this is the first time I have had a hero with the Trainer EXP Bonus trait, so I decided to run some quick numbers. Under normal conditions things look pretty basic, however when a hero gains a level they look wonky. Off to run more numbers.
Findings:
Trainer I (+10%) and Trainer II (+15%) are additive.
Non-Hero units receive 1/2 as much exp as Hero units. I knew this, but some might not have. The #'s don't lie.
Intelligence bonuses seem to be applied correctly.
I still got that wonky result when my hero levelled during the first fight, no idea why she received extra exp.
Suggestion: Instead of an indentical X per unit, could the Victory screen display the actual exp gained after calculating for bonuses? I think this would be really interesting information to have, and would show the benefits of INT, equipment bonuses (Ring of Wisdom), traits, and Warlord. Right now Warlord does calculate here, so it shouldn't be that much trouble to do the others?
--------------------------
First Combat:
Pre-Fight:
Hero is at (79/93), with a bonus from INT (+20%) and the Trainer I trait (+10%).
Spearmen are at (14/28), with a bonus from INT (+14%) and the Trainer I trait (+10%).
Post-Fight:
Victory Screen shows 26 exp assigned to each Spearman and my hero.
Hero is at (29/104), a gain of 43 points. I have no idea how we got to 43 honestly, since (26 x 1.3 = 33.8). Where did the extra 10 come from?
Spearmen are at (2/57), a gain of 16 points. This is dead on from my expectations of ((26 x 1.24) / 2). Units always get 1/2 exp BTW, if you hadn't noticed that already.
--------------------------
Second Combat:
Pre-Fight are the same as above:
Hero is at (29/104).
Spearmen are at (2/57).
Post-Fight:
Victory Screen shows 8 exp assigned to each Spearman and my hero.
Hero is at (39/104), a gain of 10 points. This looks correct, since (8 x 1.3 = 10.4).
Spearmen are at (6/57), a gain of 4 points. This looks dead on if you round down in all cases, since they should have gotten ((8 x 1.24) / 2 = 4.96).
--------------------------
Third Combat: I now have Trainer II (+15%? or is it +10% for T1 and +15% more for T2?)
Pre-Fight:
Hero is at (14/175).
Spearmen are at (44/57).
Post-Fight:
Victory Screen shows 16 exp assigned to each Spearman and my hero.
Hero is at (37/175), a gain of 23 points. This seems to show that Trainer I and II are additive, since (16 x 1.45 = 23.2).
Spearmen are at (55/57), a gain of 11 points. This looks dead on if, as speculated, Trainer I and II are additive ((16 x 1.39) / 2 = 11.12).
