Experience, also known by the abbreviations "XP" or "EXP", is a game concept introduced in Civilization III. Military units gain experience by surviving combat and defeating enemy units, and when they earn enough experience, they can receive promotions. Some of the buildings that can be built in cities give bonus experience (either a flat sum or a percentage bonus) to the units produced there.
