XP gains from battle: fleeing enemies and max lvl?

[Thorak]

I am having 2 questions regarding XP gains from battle:
1) Do you get XP from fleeing enemies that manages to escape the screen? Also, if I pick "it's over" instead of "run them down" when the enemy is fleeing, do I get xp for the enemies then?

2) In the XP calculations, the brothers with max XP (indepted at lvl 7 in manhunter event and lvl 33 chars) do they "steal" xp from the xp-pool or are they outside of the xp-calculations like war dogs?

You do not get XP from enemies who flee or who are left alive when/if you click "it's over," but what you do get is a modest bump to your reputation (not your renown).

Don't know question 2.

do you get a rep hit if you dont click it is over? and there is no rep gain or lost from fighting monsters right?

Thanks for answer to my first question. Is it possible for anyone who is not playing ironman to perform a test with manhunter?
Before going into an easy battle (like a trade caravan) save the game and perform 2 battles:
1) Do the battle without any indepted at lvl lvl 7 and check the total xp gains.
2) Repeat battle but replace one low level indepted with a lvl 7 indepted and check the total xp gains.
If the total XP gains in battle 2 is lower then the XP is wasted, but if 1 is true then it means it's possible to really power level some bros quickly with the help of lvl 7 indepted...

I do not believe so; no penalty for being a blood-thirsty mercenary -- it is to be expected.

Can't say about monsters but I don't know why there would be.

i had 8 lvl7 indeted and killd 3poathers 3marksmen and 7thugs (for a 12man grupp) https://battlebrothers.fandom.com/wiki/Level_and_Experience#XP_awards_for_enemies
27+27+49=103 but my no kill veteran (no student buff) gaind 80xp(less than expected of a 12man grupp since it was a 16 grupp) so the xp is lost
