Experience

Unit Experience

As a unit fights and survives battles, it gains experience points that improve its ability to deal with future combat situations. Their first experience level is gained by taking 25% casualties, regardless of the number of kills made. Amongst other things, experience increases morale, so an experienced unit is then less likely to break and run from battle when under stress and fatigue. Generals also gain experience points upon successful conclusion of a battle that can be used to choose useful military skills for them.
