Skill development
Hit with a siege engine
- depends on the victim's power and the damage
Party
| Activity | XP |
|---|---|
| Siege — every hour (engineer) | depends on the number of men in the siege |
| Siege engine built (engineer) | depends on the engine's difficulty |
| Enemy siege engine destroyed (engineer) | depends on the engine's cost |
| Wall breached (engineer) | 250 |
Daily army service (TAOM)
- depends on the assignment
Water supplies (during a siege)
- “You respect the defenders' cunning…” gives 100 XP
Mining (during a siege, with Engineering 30)
- “Double the pay…” or “Tunnel quickly…” each give 50 XP with a 60% chance
