Mount and Blade: Warband training question

[unmerged(336515)]

My character's trainer skill is 3, but it still doesn't give me any xp for my troops at midnight. How come?

 

[Grombeard]

Troops only gain exp if they have a lower level than you, as far as i know.

 

[unmerged(336515)]

What do you mean by them having a lower level then me?

 

[Grombeard]

Somewhere in the party screen i think you can see the level of your troops. Each troop type has a set level that raises with every promotion, just like you have a level that raises with each levelup. And only if your character level is higher than theirs you can train them.

That's why it is advisable to increase the fighting skills first and put points into trainer later.

When you select a troop in the party screen hit the Talk button, then ask "Tell me about yourself". You'll get a page with the details on its level, skills, proficiencies just like your character page.

Or you can check that page if you're playing Native to see the level and stats of all the troops as of version 1.125:

And to point out, the Exp gain per unit per trainer is:

(Level of Trainer [you or NPC hero] - level of Trainee [troop]) x amount of XP [from training skill]

So trainers with higher levels contribute more xp to each troop.
