Hi all,

I was wondering how many experience points does it take for each rank advancement? Is there consistency to it or does it vary for each soldier?

Thanks

It seems the higher the rank the greater experience points are needed, I have just had to of my team promoted to warrant officers and it took alot of missions. I am new to this as only had the game a week but thats what I have noticed.

[font="times new roman"]In another post under Mods and Tweaks Alzikar was working on a mod to increase the total number of ranks from 12 to 15. Below are the values for the changes to configuration to have 15 ranks. I’m assuming the second value is the actual experience points the soldier must have before advancing to the next rank.[/font]

0 15 //Recruit 15
1 35 //Private 37
2 65 //Private 1st Class 49
3 115 //Corporal 66
4 170 //Lance Corporal 91
5 260 //Sergeant 129
6 530 //Sergeant First Class 196
7 850 //1st Sergeant 271
8 1325 //Sergeant Major 399
9 1850 //2nd Lt.
10 2450 //1st. Lt.
11 3125 //Captain
12 3850 //Major
13 4500 //Lt. Colonel 592
14 5200 //Colonel 880
 
Alzikar,
If you are reading this would you mind posting the values for the original 12 ranks?

Has anyone actually maxed out all of the rating categories of a soldier?  I'm asking because another poster claimed that he maxed out all of a soldiers ratings and so could not continue the game because he could not spend all  5 experience points...He was unable to exit the window because of the unspent experience points.....

Here are the original values that I've found. To me they are useful so I know when my soldiers will advance to their next rank. I don't know if they change or can vary depending on difficulty level. These are on average difficulty.

I've had a colonel once. He made it at not much more the 5000 points so the scale must be slightly variable.
