No XP for Ele-Cannons

[Earl of_Duke]

Over the years, I've recruited elephants a few times, for a laugh, and have noticed something peculiar: the ele-arquebusciers gain XP as usual, but the ele-cannons never do, no matter how many thousands of heathen swine they slaughter.

The only way I can get them XP is if they are incuded in a successful jihad/crusade.

Anyone else have this "problem"?

(Problem in quotes because even at base level they are still rediculously powerful... still, the Timurids' start with 6 XP levels, doesn't seem quite right.)

I'd have gone with "cheated in units don't get exp" until you mention the regular elephants do. No idea otherwise but like you say its kind of on the lower end of the "problem" scale.

Who said anything about cheating them in? They were hired like any other mercenaries.

I can confirm this bug. In my France campaign, I hired a pair of mercenary elephants nearby Baghdad and shipped them to the Americas to conquer the Aztecs. By the time the Aztecs were conquered, the elephant arquebusiers had 2x silver chevrons, while the elephant artillery had no chevrons, even though the elephant artillery averaged more kills each battle than the elephant arquebusiers.

Oh, and thanks for the confirmation, Aeratus.
