I get more than 196k xp on ywc with just my generals, no scout post.
Perhaps if BB had explained the "bonus" completely ignores the skill trees, which cost a lot of time and trouble, and also ignored any other generic built in bonus, MARY, then people would not be so angry, disappointed and annoyed.
Over promised but under delivered, always disappoints.
I would suspect many people would agree with t00tie, I certainly do.
