Drill, Traditions and Combat: Discussion

[seepath]

I really enjoy the new edition. The changes in trade system and army are amazing.

But I'm confused about one thing, why can't an army gain drills during the combat?

1) I fully accept that loss and reinforcement should lead to drill penalty. That is correct.

2) I know that traditions are related to the combat, but wouldn't it be more accurate and interesting that make any army gaining drills during a combat, just like HOI4?

I want to hear from you guys.

Army Drilling represents your troops training while in camp, not utilizing drills in combat. It’s like sports practice for a game. Sure, you get experience during the game (Army Tradition), but practice is where you learn your plays, positions, and get your conditioning done (drilling)

Drilling is like potion of strength you drink before battle, Army tradition is the experience you earn.

Honestly I was thinking the same thing, but then I spend some bird mana to upgrade my goldmine.
