How is experience split in your party?

I seem to see the opposite.  I play with the monster setting on hard and my Sov levels every fight for the first 4 levels or so.  he is a general though so that has something to do with it.

There an amount of xp determined by the monster strength and your party strength - call it x.

If you have no heroes, each unit gets x/2, and henchmen get x each.

If you have one hero, that hero gets x, henchmen get x each, and non hero units get x/2

If you have more than one hero, the heroes and henchmen get x/(number of heroes), and non hero units get x/(2*(number of heroes))

They have changed how the first stage is calculated, as compared to fallen enchantress, so that beating monsters stronger than your group does not provide as much of a bonus as before.

Thanks. So despite what I've read elsewhere, the greater the number of heroes in a group, the less experience comes to each from a given battle?

I have tested a fight with 1 hero and then with 2 heroes.  with one hero and 2 units the hero received 32 exp.  with 2 heroes and 2 units the heroes received 18 points each. that was again with the general bonus as the only exp bonus

Thanks. This contradicts what some players were rumoring around earlier, but there's no test like actually digging up the numbers yourself.
