Details of XP gain

[Bavre]

According to the manual the formula for HQ XP gain is

If Defender’s Losses > Attacker Losses
+0.1 (Attacker’s HQ)
-0.05 (Defender’s HQ)
If Defender’s Losses >= Attacker Losses
+0.05 (Defender’s HQ)
-0.05 (Attacker’s HQ)

The >= is probably a typo and should be a <= . The aside the formula seems to either be not correct any more or have some exceptions for certain unit types. For example a General commanding a barrage from a lvl 0 cannon (resulting in a lot of 0:0) does not drain his XP as would be suggested above. Can any one enlighten me?

And while we are at it, how exactely does XP gain on units work?

Since it was announced that the manual will be updated I'd like to bring up the OPs question again.

Is the formula above correct as it stands or not?

Yes...inquiring minds would like to know. I've been pondering this also recently. [:)]

Just looking at the campaign data it should be the following:

If Defender’s Losses > Attacker Losses
+0.05 (Attacker’s HQ)
-0.05 (Defender’s HQ)
If Defender’s Losses <= Attacker Losses
+0.05 (Defender’s HQ)
-0.05 (Attacker’s HQ)
