[BigJMoney]

I'm not trying to make anyone like the old age mechanic here, but I totally kick arse using Arco's philosophers. To say they're totally worthless kinda makes you look foolish. Now I admit to having some points in growth to make up for the money loss taking going Sloth-3 (or whatever that's called). I like to take that hit to production to increase their research power to the max. If you aren't doing that, then I can understand if your philosophers are lousy. I've never even considered that the growth was also helping them stay alive. So, it can certainly be done, and I believe you had poor luck, calmon. Sorry bout that :-(. I've had Sceptics get diseases extremely quickly, but it's been very uncommon for me and I can only recall old age throwing a wrench in my plans once.
