I have repeated this to many so i might as well say it again - Dragon Hunting gives one less total unit so it is actually one of the worst maps for farming exp. Go for Flame Dragon if you want extra levels as the +5 exp from one higher level does not equal the 100+ exp lost from getting one less unit :P
And i love these changes! Now brb while i make a small shrine to aigis that i can pray to every day because of auto complete.
