I did some tests in the past

To make it short, the old age threshold didn't help anything to prevent afflictions. Kristoffer agreed this is a bug but i didn't find a fix in 3.06.

The only big help i found was growth 3 scale. It helps really to prevent afflictions at all. I had the feeling especially disease wasn't much present.

Great tests, Calmon. I need to read over your thread to absorb it all, but I'm sure that'll help my planning a lot.

i never realized growth and death scales had that much impact on old age afflictions. thanks for passing the knowledge along.

I play with growth 3 quite a bit, and it seems to drastically decrease your chances of catching afflictions on old commanders.

i normally work order 3 into most things i play for the extra cash, but the more reading i do it seems like growth 3 is the way to go with those points.

Compound interest, always the way to go in the long run.
