I am playing a single player game with The Forgotten, the new faction added with the Shadows expansion. I am playing on Hard AI difficulty, at Slow game pace. I have unlocked the faction-specific technology, "Learn From Others". The text on this particular tech states the following:
+3 XP per turn on hero
+5 XP per turn per infiltrated hero on hero
It was my assumption that this XP boost is calculated like this:
Z = number of infiltrated heroes
[base hero XP] + 3XP + (5XP * Z)
I am not seeing results that affirm my assumption. I currently have 8 infiltrated heroes. According to my assumptions, that means all of my heroes should be earning
[base XP] + 3XP + (5XP * 8) = [base] + 43XP per turn
However, the hero earning the most XP per turn is earning 10 XP total per turn. I will admit that my formula does seem flawed; 43 XP per turn on every hero seems ridiculously overpowered. How exactly does the "Learn From Others" tech increase hero XP gains? What is the formula that is being used by the game?
