An excellent game. Well done JohnHunter with the scorpion and [RD]Znack with that air play. This game might have propaganda media value.

It would be much better propaganda without the random chat and "artwork" from the spectators.

quote: what does the XP in decorated veteran mean? Is it based on damage dealt?

Units get XP for making cost (but the value is not exactly how many times cost was made, even disregarding the following!), with a small bonus if the target also had some XP (might be disabled in ZK, but doesn't matter much anyway), and then a big bonus for getting the last hit (also cost-based; maybe even as much as getting the unit down to 0 health).

That's why fleas and peewees tend to have huge XP values: they make cost really fast and then they can get a huge chunk of XP for lasthitting a commander or such.
