Old age and growth

[Poopsi]

Hey, one thing: during one of my Pythium campaigns, I was playing under (among other things) a nature 4 bless, which brings regeneration, which, on shrouded arch-theurgs, increased survival a lot by itself. After casting Gift of Health regenerating archies were pretty much set, as as a general rule the diseases they got dealt no damage, and disappeared after one or two turns anyhow...

I was thinking, maybe, when playing nations with aged commanders, it´s a good idea to bring in a nature blessing just to keep them around? (that, or full throttle into blood and construction, and lots of youth boots)
