OKay, here's a slight issue I'm having. My units seem to "cap out" at 10 XP.
I've recently started a new game and have been working on the Unstoppable War Machine. Which, unfortunately, now consists of only Knights and Macemen, but I digress.
However, I've experienced a snag. The thing is, my units hit 10 XP fairly quickly (I keep a couple of barbarian cities around primarily for training purposes), but once they hit 10, they stop progressing entirely. No matter how many battles they fight or cities they take, inside or outside of my cultural borders, they never advance beyond 10 XP.
Which, unfortunately, means I can't seem to acquire the Heroic Epic or the West Point National Wonders. Which I'd really like to have, for obvious reasons.
Now, I admit, I am currently unaware of whether the cities I built some of these guys in have Barracks and Stables or not, but even with those that's only a +5 XP bonus (+3 from Barracks, +2 from Stables...), which still won't get me to 17.
Is this a cap based on fighting Barbarians, or is it a cap because I neglected Barracks/Stables, or is it a bug, or what? I've run several searches on the subject, here and elsewhere, and this doesn'y seem to be a problem anyone else is having, and none of the availabe FAQs so much as mention anything of the sort. The only expanation anything anywhere seems to give (And this includes the Civlopedia!) on teh subject is that you get experience from combat. Except that, um, well, I don't seem to be.
Any thoughts?
