My leaders with old age have always gotten their afflictions in midwinter, and (excluding other causes, like already-diseased, battle-wounds, venom-charmed, etc) never have gained afflictions any other month.

There have been times I have (stupidly) recruited an old-age commander early winter, and have him get diseased one turn later.

I'm reasonably certain it's not that it's double-probability, but that Midwinter is the *only* time old age is the direct cause of afflictions.

Actually, head geriatrician of Pythium, thank you very much. MA Man's is the
capital these octagenerians are besieging.

Yes, that is correct. What I meant is that Midwinter is the time where already
diseased, old people seem to take an take an extra point of damage. One that
regeneration sometimes fails to negate. And more critically, when that extra
point kills, immortality and twice born seems to fail.

Yep, it's correct that people lose 2hp in a single month in winter, I read that somewhere before. Also IIRC if an immortal dies from disease in this month it dies permanently, which is a bug obviously.

I'm actually impressed by the depth of analysis and so forth that went into that. I should note, though, that boosting the nature magic of a crone de-oldifies (not a word) them. Als, they can self-heal in battles via regen spell anyway. Finally, late game you are definately going to have a faerie queen, which has Heal Troops.

In two weeks reading this board I have learnt more that from last six months playing the game. Even from the same people I play with. Now I know why all of Petar's Gods look same.

Tuidjy, I love unrest-causing units myself. However, why do you think that Bards are so much better than, say, spies? Bards may have a better stealth, but they're so much more expensive to recruit that I think spies are better for this purpose.

Not that I'm saying you're wrong. I was just wondering what your reasoning was. Are Bards better at causing unrest, or does that extra stealth mean that they are never caught, maybe?
