Old Age & EA Tien Chi?

Might as well mention that death magic decreases the chance of a mage picking up afflictions from old age.
Also, fire magic decreases the life span of that mage.
And finally, there's a blood spell that Rejuvenates the caster (takes off 10 years).

Well, this is all great info, thanks a bunch!

However, I suspect that this is too strong an effect on TC, EA. Two of the suggestions involve blood magic, and that's very difficult for TC to develop (problematic, even). I do see also a

Anyone out there w/ MP experience have comments on whether TC is still a weak nation for MP use?

For anyone reading this, there is a recent post w/ general answers on aging (here)

It is still quite decent in MP, better than in Dom2, even.

Early T'C is very nice. Their armies really work well together, and it's easy, from a strategic point of view, to figure out where to put them and how to use them on a battlefield.

That's good to hear - I'll give it a try, then.

Actually, playing a little bit more in SP, I am seeing that the suggestions posted do work, and the old age thing can be worked around, even w/o blood magic. It does look like a nice additional bit of detail, to me.

I'm currently playing EATCMP and not suffering at all from old age. I am suffering from Eagle Kings, though.

Dude, that Tien Chi advice rules. Have you considered making a guide for them? I would definently be interested. I am completely new to the game and don't even know about the summoning chain you described. Thanks!

Better than dom II pre cb wise? or cb5.4? Because pre cb, turmoil scales are horrid so it's not saying much qm. And there is no way in heck it can compete with cb5.4 S&A because cb5.4 S&A in dom II was IMO one of the top nations in the game XD.
