Researchers getting battle afflictions. Bug?

Okay, when playing the demo, I noticed that my researching druids were getting battle afflictions, like unhealing wounds. They were all just sitting in my home province and had never been under attack, only researching from time of recruitment. I guess those paper cuts are getting to be a real menace.

Anyway, is this some kind of bug? I looked through the bug thread and didn't see it mentioned there.

Sounds like it -- it's extra fun if you have Gift of Health running. Sages get sick, then get better, then get sick again. Gift of Health = Dominions' PPO.

Age?

I was playing the tutorial.

Sounds right.

Druids start out fairly old.
The ones with afflictions should have the old age icon (white head)
That'll show you current age and the start of old age.

Yep, that is aging.

Okay, so Battle Afflictions = Old Age afflictions?

How do you get battle wounds from old age? That's what had me confused. It doesn't make sense.

"I've fallen... and I can't get up..."

If an affliction from old age doesn't seem to make sense, it's probably user lack of immagination...

However, if they are still called batlle afflictions, maybe that should be changed. With the new aging system, age should cause as many afflictions as battle, atleast to the things that matter.

It is a battle affliction acquired from paper cuts, acane brews spilling upon his or her skin, explosions from unstable voids opened into their world, and drinking ink by mistake.
