[V13.1 Ground combat] Strength not improving

Hiya

I have played my squad through about 12 missions, all loaded up to the max, and none have received a strength boost yet. I see in the update the calculation has changed, but surely not that much?

I've had this problem too, all loaded to just over max and played 10 missions with no strength boost

Well, Strength was changed in V13:

- Customisable Soldier Advancement: The rate at which soldiers gain stats and ranks is now customisable in gameconfig.xml. I've increased the advancement rate by between 50%-100% in most cases, as I felt it was a bit slow. Also, we've changed strength gain so that soldiers gain it based on how many APs they spend when carrying more than 80% (this may increase to 90%) of their max carry weight rather than the somewhat overcomplex system we had before.

Possibly a case of not making your soldiers run around enough? Or maybe Chris set the AP threshold too high.

I regularly get the ap boost, and basically use all aps every turn. I got used to the overwatch not working.

Definitely carrying exactly max weight for everyone.

I will look after it. Thanks.
