I think I would prefer the "experience as a resource" option, as it fits well with how the game is already played with upgrades and such, and it offers more strategy to it.  E.g. Do I spend 100 exp right now to increase my archery skill, or do I wait until I have 300 to increase my HP?

I'd actually like to see both systems implemented, for different reasons. Giving experience directly to the unit and leveling them with that would work best for regular gameplay, while giving a resource allows more versatility in an RPG setting (which is what you want in this case, though). This thread may be of interest.

So basically it should be possible to have layered upgrades, like you research Iron Weapons for 200 gold and it gives you +20 attack-strength, then it gets replaced with Adamantium Weapons for 500 gold and +25 attack-strength, and each with their own icon?  If so, that is exactly what I need.

Cool. I've gotta say, a lot of this work you're doing is like you've read my mind, as you're filling multiple long-standing feature requests of mine.
