Can old age mechanics be modified? i.e. can the "penalties" for old age be modified?

May be interesting to have a summoning nation a la saulot's urdheim idea where units are summoned in a young form. A "baby" salamander with say start age 1. Old age is set to say 2-4 and instead of the standard penalties they would receive bonuses. I doubt you can actually mod a form change based on age (anyone try?) but a significant increase in stats would be an obvious benefit.

So the summon would be cheap, either free or low gems, but the troops wouldn't be that great. If they survive for a year or two they suddenly become forces to be reckoned with.

Possible?
