Default Re: The aging \"system\"

> I doubt that we will se anyone dying, but the effects could be noticeable (assuming your soldiers live that long, which, in Dominions, isn't all that likely).

You will se some dying old mages. Especially if you go with a death scale.

There are lots of seniors dying during a ten year period. At least in Sweden, but we no longer have the highest life expectancy in the world

Most mages don't have longer lives than ordinary men, unless they follow the path of nature or death. The latter does not protect you from old age, only from dying of it.

> So enlighten me, you have the game, does the aging system play a role in it, or is it irelevant? And will it be tweaked if it is found to be too minor or too major?

Death from old age will not be the major effect of old age. Old age reduces stats of units and increases fatigue. Instead of having lower attack skills and higher fatigue values set for each mage they have basically the same stats as normal units, but as they start older they get reductions due to age. More powerful mages are older as are priests. The typical Arch Theurg might have -2 str, att and defence. A theurg might have nothing or possibly -1. You get the idea. Some races such as Jotuns and Vanir have longer lifespans.
