Old Age again

[Endoperez]

Actually, Nature increases old age by 25 years.

See this thread:

for some analysis on various mages. The first two-three tests were done under non-common conditions (Burden of Time instead of normally passing time). Maxage (the start of old age) is supposed to affect the chance of getting afflictions from old age. Maxages lower than 50 do get more afflictions, but it seems maxages above 50 have little effect on the amount of afflictions.

No, each point of nature adds 50% of basic maxage to effective maxage. If a unit, say a pretender, has a maxage of 500 with no magic then every point of nature would add 250 to his, her, of it's maxage.

Fire magic also lowers the old age threshold. I'm afraid I don't remember how much per point right now.

This is correct. A Manticore (maxage 1000) gets +2000 years with N4, or twice the original 1000. Thanks for the clarification.
