Seriously, I've said this numerous times in the channel. Old Age: Dumbest mechanic ever. What is it for? Flavor? Annoyance? Adding in even more random factors for a strategy game? Lame.

Don't ever play Dwarf Fortress then. You'll find plenty of "annoyance" mechanics, such as insanity, fey moods, ugly wounds, depression, and tantrums. What would you think if one of your Warlocks blew up your laboratory or killed your prophet? I love the game, however, and same with Dom3 and aging. If you want a game with no randomness, try Chess. Even there, there is no safeguard against a wayward cat, so beware.
