Settlements each have a level, enhancing the technology they can use – similar to a civ-building strategy game. At each level, more upgrades to the settlement become available, at the cost of experience points stored up in the settlement.

Think of it as a settlement generating double experience, but one half is used to level and the other used to upgrade.
