No experience bonus from Guilds

[genghis_jap]

Hi Guys,

I'm having this weird glitch where I do not get experience bonus from my guilds. I do get the bonus from my Jousting ranges (Knight experience) so the mechanics is not glitched.
I have installed SS 6.4 with RR, permanent watch towers, savage AI. No other mods, early english campaign.
I have checked my export_building.txt and can't find what is going wrong.

I have not been edditing any files myself yet (I wil soon)

While I'm on the matter of experience bonus. What are the mechanics of experience gaining when a battle is over. I'm quite puzzled how te computer calculates when my units wil get better. This applies to every Total war game I've played though. It seems very random to me.

If anyone can answer at least 1st question I have it will be of great help. Right now my guilds are worthless.

THANKS for reading and hopefully answering

Ohh and I have a Steam version
And the Export file is the one in the "D:\Apps\Steam\steamapps\common\Medieval II Total War\mods\.... folder

Found it. The quicksave bugs it. After loading a quicksave I can not gain experience through buildings.
When I load a normal save I can gain experience again.

Perhaps a punishment for quicksaving-loading/cheating?

Darn it, this isn't the problem/sollution. It still seems very random. Very weird.

If i had to guess i'd say it has to due with the classification of units. For example, archers due to the battle ai failing to withdraw them from danger appropriately have all been reclassified as skirmish so the ai fights better, but the vanilla guilds bonus don't match up.

Might be the same with some of the soldiers, they might not fit the guilds categories correctly anymore. A side-effect of improved ai/gameplay sadly.

I know for a fact, the blacksmith chevrons still work, the merchant guilds, spy guilds, still work as in the original game.

Also, experience after battle will go up for your units faster if you auto-resolve, and/or chase down the feeling units at the end of battle.
