I have some questions about XP:
- Do enemy kills give an absolute XP gain, no matter the level of the unit that kills it, as in in you get 20 XP for an Ogre at level one and also at level 10?
- Is XP divided amongst all participants equally, as in your sovereign and your spearman gain 10 XP each for killing said Ogre?
- Is XP rounded up or down?
Sovereign / Champion get seperate experience than your units.
The exerience between your sovereign and champion is divided equally amongst them.
So with the Ogre (who gives 20 XP) as an example, does my sovereign gain 20 XP and my spearman 20 XP, as well?
So with your example if you had your sovereign and a champion and spearmen it would divide out like this
sovereign 10xp
champion 10xp
spearman 5xp
If you just had sovereign and spearman it divides out like
sovereign 20xp
spearman 10xp
What I'm not sure about is if the xp is divided amongst the units or if it is just a flat 10xp for each unit in your troop. I'll do more experiements and tell you if I determine this outright.
The way it works is this:
Each unit gets the same base XP.
That XP is then put through a function to reflect the party's situation.
XP = (X)/(M)(.5) For Troops
XP = (X)/(M) For Champions
Where M is the number of champions in the group, X is the XP value from the enemy you killed.
The more champions you add, the less everyone gets. Troops just get what everyone else would have gotten divided by 2.
It is pretty simple but far from explicit.
[Edit] Corrected
Ok, thank you. I've gotten a bit wiser, although:
and
seem contradictory to me.
I assume bonuses like Potential are added after these calculations and rounded down?
Not sure they are rounded down, but they are added after.
And yes each champion halves the xp... or well 2 champions halve the total xp gained by the whole group, 3 champions makes the xp be divided by 3. etc.
The worst part of this system is there is no UI to reflect it!

XP = (X)/(M) For Champions
Made a slight error in writing the equation. I updated the post with the correct equation.
Nobody else sees an issue here?
I do 
but for all my moaning little of it have been heard, so I figured it probably would be moddable in the end

It's totally moddable. I have mine at a 1 to 1 ratio and it's pretty nice.
The problem here is that troops don't get rewarded for defending their cities. Thus, you are forced to take your exploritory force of heroes to act as your empire's patrol...
IMO, any troop stationed within a city should:
Toss in the increased unrests by city level as recommended by the conquering AI city thread, and you have a purpose for stationing troops....especially in the larger cities.
This approach would help encourage the building of troops for your cities. Only need to find the queue time to build them now...
