game option/old age

[Xietor]

I typically avoid most races with old age, as it is not something i find much fun to deal with.

It would be nice if there was a game option where old age could be turned off. I think it would be easy to put in, just make any unit that starts old now start 5 years below the age they get old.

And I would have no issue playing a race that has no old age issues(Pangaea) against marigon, man, or abysia with old age turned off either.

And it seems arbitrary to me that Man's crone starts tremendously old, but vanaheim's best air mage does not. If anyone says man MA > Vanaheim MA and Man's crone needs that handicap for vanaheim to be competitive I will laugh.

And even Ulm, who has smiths, have to deal with old age a bit, though not to man, marigon, or abysia's extent.

If the issue is purely balance, increase the costs of the mages in question.
