Am I getting less XP after 42' GC on Rommel?

Feels like my units are getting XP much slower.

Your experience becomes more difficult to accumulate after you reach higher levels of experience. In other words it is extremely easy to get that first star of experience. A lot more difficult to get that 4th star. Does that make sense?

What I mean is the lower experience levels are acquired more quickly then the 4th and 5th star levels

Thanks, but I should have clarified what I meant. I'm aware that the XP for higher stars is progressively more difficult and slower to get. But wanted to ask whether GC past 41' or 42' has different XP settings, because I feel like I'm slow to get 2nd or 3rd stars for some of my new units past that point, taking ages. Similar to the way the devs changed the heroes distribution past 43'.

Found the answer anyway in gamerules.pzdat, the ExpGrowRate doesn't seem to change at all throughout GC, only the kills ratio for the first hero goes to 1 instead of 301 after 42', meaning a fresh unit can get a hero right off the bat.

I find it interesting that you say that. Because I am surprised to find the Sealion Grand Campaign that I am trying on Double Rommel very frustrating. Not just because of the lack of prestige, but I am struggling hard with trying to acquire first heroes. Since the heroes are still set at GC settings I cannot acquire heroes until I get that first 100 kills. So I am almost to London and have at most 2 heroes in my core.

Most people play with an imported core and I guess changing the settings for people that play it as a stand alone campaign were not considered when this was in playtesting status.

You could copy the Rules file from the main Data directory into the Sealion Data directory.

Nico did a mod to import GC40 into AK. The first turn every attack generated a hero. :shock:

I am thankful that I am able to play Battlefield Europe as my nephew helped me figure out how to get that mod to work on my computer. I am not ready to try and pursue anything more. But who knows, I know there are other great mods out there and I have a game for the rest of my life. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
