Ah yes - yet another bloody way to have to pay expensive upkeep on troops because you don't dismiss them from service when they become crippled & useless. Nifty.
You mean you're not having any fun sending those feeble old wrecks to the front lines, ahead of the pikemen to slow down a cavalry charge? You either have no sense of humor, or are just a soft excuse for a pretender god bent on the destruction of the world for your glory.

Problem is that those old, feebleminded mages tend to often have map movements of one - guess incontinence makes it difficult to travel fast. In dom2, I often saw where it would take 10 turns or more to drag useless troops (and "free" militia) to a valid front line to get them killed off. Given that _every_ turn you have to find that army and update orders, since there's no pathfinding or waypoint mechanism, it's a royal PITA.

And I have another gripe about the age system - following up in new post.
