Default Realism options!

What does everyone think of realism options in Dominions III, the way they have them in simulators such as Silent Hunter III? In Dominions III's case, something like:
  • Infinite ammunition.
  • Battle Afflictions.
  • Fatigue.
  • Aging.

I consider easily accessible realism options a great addition to any game, not just "realistic" titles, as they allow you to customize your game without having to resort to modding or command line switches.

Sounds nice. It depends on the way the game has been coded whether such changes could be applied in a reasonable amount of time.

Problem is, turning Afflictions, Fatigue or Aging would make some spells non-working. =/

OK, so turning off things like Fatigue disables those spells. Shouldn't be too hard.

But it might give certain nations a disadvantage. One big plus of nature magic is the ability to heal most afflictions. If afflictions were disabled, nature magic would loose much of it's appeal

Isnt fatigue one of the blancing factors in choosing the giants or ulm?
