XP based on enemy strength

Description
In vanilla xp is calculated by type of battle result. Heroic Victory will give you 1400 XP, Decisive Victory = 1000 XP, Valiant Defeat = 600 XP and so on.

This mod adds some changes:
1. XP is now calculated by enemy strength (gold based value). Winning against very strong armies will give you much more experience than heroic/decisive victory in vanilla.

2. Sacking settlements with very weak (shattered) garrisons is nerfed approximately by 50%. It is still viable, but not as effective as it was in vanilla.

3. Added bonuses and nerfs based on character level. (for balancing new XP system)
Before 20 level: +10% XP
20 - 30 level: -20% XP
After 30 level: -40% XP

4. During lightning strikes XP is calculated a little bit differently because there were problems. The more forces you eliminate during battle - the more XP you will get after.

Note:
AI has all the changes.
You can enable/disable this mod at any time. (script mod).
This mod is balanced only for vanilla (tested on legendary difficulty). In SFO or other overhaul it may not work as intended.

I made this mod because I like how CA reworked xp gaining in Total War: WARHAMMER III. Another problem I wanted to solve is leveling secondary lords and characters in late game. It takes too much time until they get immortality in vanilla.

Recommendations:

1. NNOBBs - Never Obsolete AI Lords

2. Max level 50 - Skill Dump (or other similar)

No I'm talking about WH2. I must've read the wrong info only (probably someone talking about WH3) and so I thought heroes get half xp.

@Valour, as far as I remember, "xp_battle_modifier_hero" is equal to 1. But I did not change this parameter from vanilla in this mod.
Maybe you are talking about Warhammer TW3? If I remember correctly, there heroes get half the XP.

I also like the idea of this mod.

After testing, it appears that "xp_battle_modifier_hero" is equal to 1. Which means that heroes get the exact same XP as lords do from a battle. I was under the impression that heroes were meant to get half the xp, but maybe that got changed in a patch?

@W31rdomaniac, I also used Saner XP, but it did not do what I wanted(. That is why I made this mod.

Sounds interesting! I am using "Saner XP" right now, but I will give this one a try with my next campaign.
