The veteran levels have names, what are the names of the levels?
veteran_names = _("green"), _("veteran"), _("hardened"), _("elite")

There is chance units can become veterean.
The percentage chance of increasing level through combat
veteran_raise_chance = 50, 33, 20, 0

What is the effect of a veteran level. (A defense of 2 will become 3 at the 
veteran level.)
Power factors are as a percentage. +50% is represented by 150
veteran_power_fact = 100, 150, 175, 200

There are some veteran specials:
The percentage chance of a settler/engineer increasing level through 
performing useful work (per turn)
veteran_work_raise_chance = 5, 3, 1, 0

 The chances of a trireme being lost at sea when not adjacent to a land tile.
veteran_highseas_loss_pct = 50, 25, 5, 0

I like the movement bonus. (The default = 0,0,0,0)
The additional number of movement points granted for different veteran levels.  
These are thirds of points, so to increase movement by a whole point 3 must 
be specified.
veteran_move_bonus = 3, 6, 9, 12


I got this info from the units.ruleset file.
