Gold for xp

Can someone tell me how much xp is a gold worth?

(I'm trying to decide on what xp should I recall, or rather just recruit)

Well seeing it takes 20 gold to recall, any experience on a unit worth 20 or more gold...cheap units I'd recall the near leveled ones, or ones with traits I want.

There's no consistent value. Some units are much easier to level up, and thus may not be worth recalling without a lot of XP, while other units take a long time to level, and should be recalled with only a little XP, especially if they have the traits you want.

Forget trying to find a formula. I recall anybody with 7 XP or more and all shaman with 4 XP or more. Gold is not that scarce a resource in Wesnoth - and Wesnoth is not a game that requires micromanagement.

There's no specific formula, but I usually won't recall a unit unless it has at least 16 XP. It is fairly easy to get a unit one or two kills, and IMHO the extra however-much gold isn't worth it, unless you really like the unit's traits.

Playing "Son of the Black Eye", this question is of interest to me, seeing how cheap Northerners are.

I just recalled 2 Grunts and 1 Archer with 14/34, 25/42, and 25/30 respectively. I dismissed those with less XP. I have the feeling it was not very cost-effective, what do you guys think ?

Imo get the last 2 XPed ones, and eventually that 1st one.

That depends entirely on how much gold you have on hand.

Personally, I like to recall units with the traits I like (e.g. resilient/intelligent, resilient/quick, or resilient/strong - although it completely depends on the unit).
Even if they're low XP, I recall one and then feed him exp.
Better to spend an extra 3-6 gold recalling, than to waste tons of gold training unit after unit hoping for these traits!

But yea, I focus way more on traits than I do on XP.
I've dismissed really high XP units before because they had traits like quick/intelligent. -10%hp? No thanks!
