Yeah I play usually without mods, but if they never change some skills I'll probably look into how to give engineering and medicine a daily tick like steward gets and giving the same leadership bonus per tier of troops you get from having an army to a solo party. I'd also like to chance certain perks from mis-matched roles to a role that makes sense, such as the for engineer perks in the tactics skill... I mean you can't get tactics that high on an engineer and if you make the MC do both you can't use engineering as a governor so it's a waste. But for now I play vanilla on beta.Yeah I'm going to experiment with 100% arena/tourno XP and 3x xp for Leadership, Engineering, Medicine, Roguery, Tactics.
I used to play with that and a global 2x xp modifier. It seems like the devs followed my lead and either doubled or tripled global XP. If so, an additional 3x for those pesky impossible noncombat skills should do the trick nicely.
One thing I noticed that was incredibly bizarre is that vanilla xp for Castle Training Grounds is 1/2/3 but for Town Training Grounds it's 30/60/100.
Does that mean that one is 30x more xp than the other? Or are town TG's still on the per-stack rather than per-unit system? If so, that means they even out at stacks of 30 which is... wild to say the least.
My benchmark for tweaking troop XP was thinking a very competent commander should be able to train fresh recruits to a basic level (march in formation, hold a shield --> Tier 2) in about 2 weeks. That means 300 xp or 21xp/day.
So I generally enable the "Leadership gives xp/day" set at 10%, so 200 Leadership means 20xp/day - on top of whatever perks there are (which keep annoyingly ****ing changing).

^I don't even know what this is.
