Potential ability is stacking or not?

Hi,

It seems from a few tests that potential II is not stacking with potential I ... i.e you get 20% more experience but not 15+20 ... Is it true / your experience too? Because in this case this would be terribly underwhelming...

Opinion?

That's all I see on the character screen. My local hero in my last game started with Pot 2 and only showed 25% bonus to exp. It might be true that it adds, but there is no place on the character sheet you can pull up to check.

They are additive, but not multiplicative. You get (1 exp x (1 + 0.15 + 0.20)) = 1.35 exp.

If you get ridiculous about it you can have:

10% from the race of Men
25% from General
60% from Potential
25% from Kowledge
50% from Training

Your tests are wrong. It definitely stacked in 1.01, and I am 99% sure it stacks in 1.02 (I've only played one game in 1.02, and I used a strategy that had so many stacking experience bonuses that I was getting 4 or 5 times basic experience)

Add henchmen into the mix, and it's beyond ridiculous. They do not split experience, and by the time they are level 30-40, they ALL have 60% army wide, stacking bonuses.

By the way, this happens before turn 100.

Hummm,I'm not sure General do gave sovgaon or even hero, I think it's only work on normal trained troop..., not hero or himself...

Henchmen cannot have "general", their version is only 10%. Trainer III adds up to 50%, thus a total of 60%.

But "general" definitely affects everyone, including heroes (sovereigns and champions) and sidekicks (henchmen & scions)

Henchmen can get potential I AND the bonus inherit to unit design

If you're minmaxing, there is only one type of henchman you should be building: "Bard" (army wide xpt bonus) "Potential" (personal xpt bonus) and "Shieldwall" (army wide defense) bonus.

"Bard" and "Shieldwall" stack, and all the standard hero traits can be picked up later, up and including magic paths from Pariden stores.
