Well I was playing a multiplayer game, and I noticed that someone trying to desperatey defend against an onslaught of War Elephants somehow managed to build a mass of spearmen STARTING with +10 EXP! Now I know With the right civics and barracks it adds up to +8 but whats the other +2 comming from??

Barracks: 4
Vassalage: 2
Theocracy: 2
West Point: 4 (city only)
Pentagon: 2
West Point requires a level 5 unit and Military Tradition. Pentagon requires Assembly Line. My guess would be Barracks, West Point, and one of the Civics. -
Re: Building units starting with 10exp??
Lets see, 4 from the barracks, 2 from theocracy and 2 from the government one. I belive west point adds 2 more but this would be too early hmm.Originally posted by OmEgA-X1

Aggressive as a leader trait gives a free promotion. I haven't played one yet, so I can't say for certain. Does it give 2 XP with the Combat I promotion already assigned, or does the unit just start with the base amount of XP and the promotion?Age and treachery will defeat youth and skill every time.Comment

The free promotion from Aggressive doesn't use up any XP. It also doesn't count against the XP requirement for the next promotion.Comment

It might look like a 10 exp unit to others though, even if it just a lower level one for an aggressive civ.

So in the right circumstances you could have a city with +16 starting exp.
I think I will build the Heroic Epic there please!
Pair that with Aggressive and you would start with 1+ 3 upgrades!?! WOW.
God I love specialising in this gameComment

Or you could pair it with the Red Cross and have every unit also have medic I for free. Just make sure the city can grow very large and has plenty of production.
