Experience table and constants

[Deon]

Can you clarify how do experience settings work in gameplay constants? THere're a lot of constants and I don't get all their meaning, any kind of xp gain formula with different levels would be great, or just an explanation.

- Building kills grant XP: self explanatory
- Global distribution: dunno, but I think it means XP is distributed over multiple heroes (a unit giving 20 xp gives 10 xp to each hero)
- Max level heroes drain XP: dunno, but I think it means that if a unit gives 20 xp, 10 xp is lost to a hero at maximum level who doesn't use it
- Creep reduction table: how much % of the XP is gained from neutral hostile units: as you can see, 0% is gained when your hero is level 5, thus at level 5 you can't gain XP from neutral hostile units

The other things are either self explanatory or aren't important. Either way you can find out what they do by testing in-game...

I am actually interested in:
Hero, constant factor
Hero, table
Normal, constant factor (I guess it's the same as above but what for? Normal units don't get exp)
Normal, level factor
Normal, previous value factor
Normal, Table
Various Tier # Bonus Factors

Well, those are the XP gained from normal units...

The various tier bonus factors probably has something to do with heroes gaining more/less experience when they have a town hall / keep / castle.

I have an idea, i think the Xp -gained normal, is what affects xp given form normal units, and hero is with heroes...

Cool, I've got it too .
I meant the "constant factor", "level factor" and "previous value factor" which are unknown to me.

let's see, that's easier... i think i know how...

lvl 1: constant factor.
lvl 2: (Constant factor + (level factor * (level of hero - 1))) * Previous value factor
lvl 3: (Constant factor + (level factor * (level of hero - 1))) * (Previous value factor * (level of hero - 1))
lvl 4: (Constant factor + (level factor * (level of hero - 1))) * (Previous value factor * (level of hero - 1))
lvl 5: (Constant factor + (level factor * (level of hero - 1))) * (Previous value factor * (level of hero - 1))

Example:
Constant factor: 100 Level factor 2 Previous value factor 1.5

Lvl 1: 100
Lvl 2: (100 + 2) * 1.5 = 153
so on, i gotta go...

and that's how it goes on, i think... i'm not sure, but that's what i think it is... i always try several times until i find a balance... i know that it's somehow around like about this...
