Naga Experience?

I was thinking of changing the way XP is done for Naga.

My thoughts were that they should gain their first level or two fast and then it should be harder then normal (not too much harder but harder).

The idea is to make the game less boring at the start. It also means that Naga have to work harder to become that unstoppable lvl 10 god.

Currently it takes 200 xp for the first level and the factor is 75. Thus, level 2>>3 takes 475 xp. I was thinking of changing it to perhaps 150 xp and 100 factor. So that level 1>>2 150, 2>>3 400 and so on.

I don't think I've ever reached level 10 in a game. Either its over long before then or i'm not catching any fish and thus not getting any exp.

Well the thinking was based off this:

I find myself like level 5 on average by 10 minutes into the game. At the same time, I always see Naga who are level 2, 10 minutes into the game. I was hoping to bridge the gap such that getting to level 3 would be easier, but going beyond that would be harder. Not a lot harder of course but the way Naga work now, they are on a curve of power. They are weak as hell early game but they just keep growing in power. This is a huge learning curve for noobs and people without patience. I would rather make it so the first few levels are easier (keeping interest for noobies and people without patience) but harder to get to level 7-8 (when you become unstoppable).

Here is the ideal curve for an average game with an average player: You should be level 3 by 10 minutes in. You should be getting your ultimate 15-20 minutes into the game.

that sounds decent so long as the first 3 levels are boosted.
