old age solutions

I remember Old Age and methods of staving off death being discussed, but a search didn't turn up anything.

I think Growth is a good thing for some reason and I remember there my be some items and/or spells that help?

Basically, what can you do if you don't want your mages dying of old age?

Growth helps, boots of youth and the elixer of life helps, gift of health(global) helps iirc, the blood spell rejuvinate or whatever its called helps, twiceborn sort of helps(reborn after death)

get a healer (chalice, faerie queens, arco priestess, tien chi immortal) to do away with their disease.. gift of health does this too, like shovah says

make them regenerate - they will still get afflictions, but their hitpoints wont drop once they are diseased. this will buy time for you to get a healer

any mage with 2 blood and 10 virgins can make a set of boots that stop aging.

Do non "old age" units get older and eventually become old age? Seems to me those old age units collect alot of problems in a relatively short time (in a couple years they might be riddled with problems, in 3 or 4 years- dead) Even though they apparently had no troubles before hand.(before you recruited em I mean) It would make more sense for old age factor to just increase over time.. increasing its effects. The "battle wounds" from old age should be much more rare IMO.

its a new concept in the dom world, I really like it, it balances out the really powerful mages pretty well and makes sense.

The reason old age people go downhill fast is because disease seems to be pretty common among the old age maladies
