New patch??

Or simpler yet, decide that Abyssia's non-human mages have longer lives than humans. Enough to compensate for their fire magic at least. Or drop their starting ages.

That's even moddable.

No disrespect, but who are you do say that? Clearly Aby has special code that protects it from the supply checks. All that needs to be done is to place a similar check into the death component of the old age affliction code. This does not seem so back-breaking of a request.

Just going by what the devs have said. They like Abysians that die off from old age quickly.

K O just said as much in this thread.

Since the manual already says "They do not farm or hunt for a living, so their income and supplies are not affected by the growth/death scale of a province." I can only assume that new players are taking death scale with them, not realising it's suicidal. I know I did.

From what I understand their income isn't immune currently, despite what the manual states, so I think the first change would be to make that the case. Maybe that way people might actually be tempted to try and take advantage of Abysian death scales.

You could houserule Abysia's units to have higher maxages. Maybe it's one of the quirks of being magma creatures.
