Better Mechanics : Training and Experience

Description





I think Hoi4 has gotten much better as time has passed; however, one thing remains the same as at launch—the land units experience system. I think anyone can agree that adding one fresh company to a division of 10k men shouldn't suddenly make them lose 25% of their combat effectiveness. I also think that there are no effects for deploying green troops, and players and AI aren't rewarded enough for rigorous training.

  • The same system as air wing xp-slowly increasing/decreasing instead of binary 25% change is applied to land units. Now you have 10 levels going from Conscript (-30%) to Veteran (+60%). Training your troops is paramount now.

  • The difference between levels is more significant; the evidence can be found in any conflict where green troops get destroyed; I'm thinking about 30-40%. At the same time, I think there should be another green level, as there are 3 experienced levels and only one negative. That means you could get a whopping 45% debuff since you decided to skip training.

  • Units should gain experience from combat faster. Getting veteran units is nearly impossible, even with field hospitals apart from the war in China and the Spanish Civil War.

  • This experience rework is also affecting naval and air experience levels


It is not compatible with any mod that changes the unit leveling system. R56 is not supported yet
EAW compatible version: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3034632676
Special thanks to HOVADO for the suggestions



Creating a mod takes a significant amount of time and effort. If you'd like to support the development and help keep me motivated, you can consider donating using the Buy Me a Coffee button. I would greatly appreciate it.

@napamathguy
yes, ut through exp they can get to lvl 10
And yes, that screenshot needs to be updated

Second pic (the different icons representing the levels of experience), isn't it missing level 2 (the pawn)? I don't know about the icons past level 5 (I haven't used the mod -- or played the game -- long enough to actually get battle experience).

Also, the air wings, their training experience tops out at level 4, right?

Is this compatible with World Ablaze?

so when you say troop leveling does that mean it wont work with a mod that speeds up training time too?

Hello, did you add any commands for division xp for us to increase or decrease xp?

Forgot to update the escription following a value tweak, no need to be brash

"Now you have 10 levels going form Conscript (-45%) to Veteran (+90%). Training your troops is paramount now."

Conscripts are starting at -30%. Can only train to 10%? Your mod doesn't even do what the description says.
