Abysia, Age and Death: a suggestion

I have been playing around with MA Abysia and all there mages have old age, even the demonbred is old 50% of the time. Late winter is a terrible month for this nation.

I think Chris makes some good points. Ma Abysia has to take growth which is very unthematic for this nation. Death scale upto 3 should be treated as death 0 with regards to age for Abysia. All other effects remain the same, this means blood hunting will have diminishing returns the longer the game goes on still and they will still be more effected by old age than virtually any other nation, instead of totally crippled, should they take death 3 now.

I would also like to see demonbreds and warlock apprentices taken out of the old age range all together. The demon part of the demonbred should enable them to not be old as soon as you recruit them and as for warlock apprentices, do any actually become warlocks? Most of mine die/feebleminded/mute etc... from old age long before they become warlocks.

Also well I am moaning, shouldn't the warlock apprentice be recruitable at every castle? Or made so...

Sorry, I was speaking from experience playing EA Abysia.

I do think they need more non-capital mages. I can't believe you can only recruit the S/B mage, demonbred, AND your anointed from the capital. It's a very frustrating bottleneck. I think the anointed should be the only capital only.
