4. All my warlocks got old age at the same time, all at once. Is this a bug, bad luck, or just what I get for taking death scale 1?

Sorry, I meant to say they all got diseased on the same turn (about 9 of them). They all started with old age.

As for illwinter, does anyone know how strong the random attacks are? Can they handle low/medium PD?

You got unlucky. One of the most common afflictions from old age is disease, and Death scale increases chance of occurrence, so if the turn was late winter and they got it on next hosting, that's what happened.

Did they all get diseased in the same province? Some lab that is not at your capital? If you have less than 4 magic sites found in the province then I would do some searching for a hidden death site, and I think maybe blood also. There are some that can cause disease even if hidden.

Edi, your point about all units recruited in the same year getting old at the same time is a bit off. There's a small random element to a unit's age at recruitment..most units are so far away from the old age break point on either end that it doesn't matter, but it does for some units (Master smiths as one example)

All units do have the same birthday though, as you said.

I know about the randomness in age issues, Micah, but I was simplifying. Besides, these are Abysian mages we're talking about, almost all of them start old so it was just a matter of the lot of them getting hit by the end of the year affliction check.
