The soldiers can progress just with training in the training sites. Why they do not progress with experience? They could also improve their attributes if they win a combat.

This has been asked before. Though it sounds logical at first, logical ideas do not necessarily make for good games. The bad thing with this proposal is that strong soldiers get stronger much quicker. Imagine the attacker has one lvl3 soldier, while the defender has only lvl0 soldier - the 3 solider will win in a fight everytime, but then be lower than 50% health and go home - the defender lost a soldier, while the attacker even got a stronger soldier. This tipps a fight much faster towards the stronger player which is a bad thing. Secondly, what attribute should the soldier get stronger in? Random selection? And when? And thirdly, this would make fighting a stronger focus in the game - right now, a good economy ensures that you have strong soldiers. And having a good economy is the thing the game wants to enforce.

So all in all I think the current way is better.

I see. As a game, preferable fun as logic. I presume you are right. If this has been discussed before I think you have already chosen the optimal solution and it is not worthy to open again the debate.
