Personally I like the old age feature. It adds flavour, and makes all those commanders seem more human. I also like the gamble that is associated with purchasing old age mages. Some mages die from old age, but not a lot, especially if you have a growth scale.

I can understand why some people wouldn't like it though, especially those why don't like micro management or want the game more strategic.

I am all for the option though. But like Sombre it is one I would never use.
