Yes. And even in Civilization it was the case (+50% attack if an
unit already destroyed another one or Barracks was built).

I prefer more advanced experience handling, e.g. cumulative along
different fights, and obsolete against more advanced types of
units.

Also, through time a unit can gain experience, because it keeps
on "training".

I think it is handled through the fact that a "fire age" unit is
obsolete against a "metal age" unit.

We could make a unit die but since already "lifecycle" is very
fast, a unit needs to be thought more as a "division" which keeps
on training and maintaining itself (e.g. recruiting youngs for
example).

I don't think making a unit "die" would be very enjoyable in the
game (it's just my humble opinion).
