How is XP from PvP counted? Does it include all units in camps going down with a leader (like on standard combat), or is it only from units killed directly?

There's a table in wiki, which I cannot link due to it being an external link although I'm sure you'll be able to find: under the Expeditions tab, select the Experience for Defeated Units on Expeditions.
You'll see, if the numbers are correct, that it is very little and my understanding is that in the case of pvp, you only get the xp from what you've killed, not the entire sector once you've defeated a leader.
That seems very little indeed, but there's never millions of xp to gather before levelling up and get your 3k pop water castle
Thanks Elco. I'm aware of the wiki XP data. It just does not say if it works like standard army where you get XP for all the camps taken down weather directly or by knocking the leader. Since the only reason I play PvP now is to finish the castle and get population space it is useful to know how exactly XP count works as it influences how I play.
the more you kill, the more you get
i've done pvp a month ago, from landing straight to last leader.
had only a little bit of xp
killed all camps and left some camps behind a few times. XP was different
it's cheap to test this yourself
yes i did
i've explained you that i've gain more xp when i killed all camps in a sector then when i've only killed the leader of the sector
which means that when you kill a leader you get less, which implies that you get xp for what you kill (from what i can remember anyway)
did not know i had to dumb it waaaaay down . my bad
Maybe not dumb down as it was dumb enough already but rather communicate in an intelligent way. By this time I've done a bit of my own testing, as not getting any knowledgeable response from anybody. Counted XP from troops actually killed using wiki XP guide, and compared with the final XP in loot. That gives at least some solid results, not confirming your claims though. Unless you compared two identical colonies done different ways your guess work is as good as useless.
