Shared Experience

[Ordie]

I am sure all of you are familiar with the situation when you spend time parrying and slashing, evading and jumping, only to have a troup give a simple last hit and get all the XP. The opposite is also contrary. A troup may spend lots of times fighting, and then we give the last blow and we get the XP - this way the troups never evolve! Therefore, I propose a XP distribution based on damage caused. If slash a soldier for 20 of his total 40 HP damage, then two soldiers come and deal him 10 damage each, and assuming the soldier is worth 100 XP, I should get 50 XP while each of my troops would get 25 XP each.

Hello.

Armagan was against the idea in the thread "Relating exp gains to damage": http://taleworlds.com/v-web/bulletin/bb/viewtopic.php?t=763&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=experience+point

and you yourself gave one of the reasons why, I believe, he was not in favor of it: troops "steal" points freely, if they steal your kill, you steal theirs. I'm relatively neutral either way here.

Oh, most sorry. Thanks for posting that.

Eh, it's all part of frenetic nature of combat ^_^ If your men are KSing it doesn't matter much, you KS from them, it's just they don't care because they're a collection of textures and code.

the experience gained should be calculated to be given only to units that have attacked the experience giver when it is dead and the killer gets something like a 10% bonus experience so:

hero has attacked unit for 50/100 damage
archer has attacked unit for 25/100 damage
archer has attacked unit for 15/100 damage
hero has attacked and killed unit for 10/100 damage

calculations....
hero did 60% damage - gets 60% of initial experience that would be gained + 10% of it for killing blow.

archer did 40% damage - gets 40% of initial experience that would be gained.

so just for number simplicity: hero gets 60 (60%) of a possible 100 experience + 10 experience (10% of 100) for killing the unit
archer gets 40 (40%) out of a possible 100 experience

oh and it wouldn't mean that the screen would be full of "you gained X xp" because it is calculated after each death

its basically a more explained version of what Tiedye said.

ive not posted in the thread mentioned because i dont like ressurrecting old posts.

This sort of system would only really be useful in a multiplayer scenario, which isn't going to happen

Shared experience system was in earlier versions, later it was removed.

This isn't the right place for this but I just noticed. Ingolifs, I don't think Albert Einsein knew about Laser chaingun cannons or w/e, so ur sig is incorrect It must be "uber pwnage r0botz of teh footure w/ Kung Fu skeellz and uber anti-n00b pwnage missile guidance system of laser gattling headshotness." I believe he said -that-.

Records from that era are spotty at best.
