getting experience points

[felixckw]

Having played Panzer Corps and its Grand Campaigns. It seems units get experience points more easily in the Grand Campaigns than in the original game. Is it true?

I think this is counterbalanced by how experience is capped to be lower in the Grand Campaigns, so that you're "stuck" with about 2.5 stars worth of exp instead of the original game letting you get to 5 stars. The alternative would have been seeing 5-star Panzer IIs or something halfway through Poland.

That cap is only for the DLC's as far as I know.

Caps are only in the DLC.

Experience suffers from diminishing returns.  That is, the amount of combat it takes to reach 400 exp to 500 exp is MUCH MUCH larger than the amount of combat required to get from 0 exp to 100 exp.

This way, newly purchased units, who always start at 0 experience in campaign play, have an easy time to 'catch up' to the experience of the rest of the core and the enemy as well.
