Nearly all [[:Category:Creatures|creatures]] can level up, which is achieved by gaining experience (XP). 

Units can get XP most commonly from killing other creatures.  The easiest way to level up a unit is to trap it inside an area using mountain [[tiles]], filling up the area with a weaker creature (like [[Insects|grasshoppers]] or [[Insects|beetles]]) and then giving the unit madness. Known sources of XP include:

* Kill Hit +12 XP (kills that don't involve hits give 10 xp)
* Hit +2 XP (projectiles, like arrows, count as hits)
* Each year a [[Kings and Leaders|king]] rules +20 XP
* Each year a [[Kings and Leaders|leader]] rules +10 XP
The amount of XP needed to reach the next level from level X is given by '''EXP = 20 × X + 80.''' All units have the same experience points (XP or EXP) requirement to level up for each level. 

Every time a unit levels up it will gain a fixed amount of [[Unit Stats|stats]]:

* +20 health
* +1 attack speed
* +0.5 damage
All units have a default max level of 10, but this limit can be increased by the Heroes knowledge (+2) and being a member of a level 5 alliance (+1), leading to a highest possible level of 13. 

''<small>"Total" takes into account all previous level bonuses/requirements. So level 3 is 40 health, 1 attack speed, and 1 damage + base stats</small>''

==Extra Info==

* At level 10 units without the necessary requirements will stop gaining xp at 260/280
* You may be confused to see that sometimes stats don't increase the expected amount when checking the updated level of a unit. This is because things like units age, [[traits]] and [[Weapons, Tools and Accessories|items]] can also influence a units [[Unit Stats|stats]]. For example when intentionally leveling a unit after level 3 should give the unit the veteran [[Traits|trait]]
* When units [[Second Life "Options" (Undead)|turn into another unit]] they lose their previous level and get set back to one
* When looking at levels in the code it appears that it’s supposed to increase armor by .333r each level. This does not happen in-game, it is assumed that it is bugged in some way

==Other Leveling Systems==
*[[Alliances]] have 5 levels
*[[Clans]] have 5 levels
*[[Culture Development|Cultures]] have 59-63 levels (depending on race)
