Bug? Diseased Undead + Burden of Time

Still, would be interesting and very unique, if the ancient kraken would get stronger by age, especially by abusing burden of time for it.

That would be interesting. But probably abused. Especially in long games.
Bad enough we have things like Eater of the Dead

Not really. I get a kick out of that one.

There are a few other units like this - in particular the atlanteans. However, it would be quite a big change and it's rare that units would grow old enough for their growth to have an effect.
In fact, the only way it could happen in a dominions game time scale is through 'decay' or similar aging magic. One could say that this sort of death magic is different from 'natural' aging in that it provides the deterioration of age, but not any growth or increase in power.

The ilithids alone can be 3000 years old before they get old

And wihle Ancient Kraken might get abused by burden of time its not that easy as it seems only Rlyeh can have it. Especially LE. And its aquatic, very slow on the global map, cannot use all slots as a humanoid pretender and does not start with any magic path. A nice Old Age bonus would just be fair.

you can always wish for an ancient Kraken if that's what you want. of course you'll need to be in a water province or else he'll just die due to his aquatic nature... than a simple amulet of the fish will bring him over to land.

nice thread necromancy you guys, but I do wonder whether this bug is fixed already or not, seeing that we've discovered a few more bugs related to BoT such as boots of youth(and perhaps elixirs of life) not stopping old age from BoT.
