Re: I'm have the worst, and best, of luck playing Man.
As far as I know, Regeneration doesn't actually help prevent old age disease or other afflictions. It just stops the hp loss once you are diseased.
It's also never been clear to me whether being closer to your max age is better than being much over it. It may be worth giving her a Thistle mace for the turn anyway, if you can get one. At least for next year, if she doesn't get diseased this year.

This is the case, yes.

Re: I'm have the worst, and best, of luck playing Man.
It's always appeared to me that my diseased units get far fewer monthly afflictions if they have regeneration. Did you run a test?

Re: I'm have the worst, and best, of luck playing Man.
I suppose this will be my last update as to the fate of my super-fantastic Crone.
Good news- She survived Late Winter without even a new wound! Thank you to those of you who advised I bring her back into my own growth dominion. She had actually been out in death 2 and three dominion I had conquered from Asco (Who had Turmoil, Sloth, Death, Misfortune, and nuetral Magic. Dangerous choice!)
Bad News- Early Spring of Year 4, Morrigan he Crone of Avalon was killed by an arrow from the sky as she was site searching within securely within my borders. I am, if only slightly, tempted to reload. But I won't, as I have a good feeling about this game, even with her death.

Re: I'm have the worst, and best, of luck playing Man.
You'll get a few 4-5 N Crones with Man, not many though. Those are the ones worth putting a thistle mace on, since it will get them back under Max age.
Growth scales definitely help, and rings of regen will keep the diseased ones alive for quite a while, and seems to lessen their chances for new afflictions.
Of course, casting the Gift of Health is your best friend for helping out the Crones.

Beware, even with regen you still loose 1hp each late winter.

Re: I'm have the worst, and best, of luck playing Man.
Regeneration gives you 1/8th of the chance to recieve an affliction compared to non-regenerating charactes. I've always led myself to believe that is also the case with catching old-age disease; at least old characters with regeneration (a ring of regen for example) have seemed to get diseased much less often than those without regeneration. No hard data though, just what I've believed and felt it to be like
