Default Re: Hm, how likely is Feeblemind?

The old age of 500 didn't give the crones a visible bonus. The 47 survived Crones seems normal for a death 1 unit.
So a crone with an age of 697 coming in the game has a very big chance of dieing on old age within 10 years gametime. How they went so old outsite the game?


This looks like a bug to me:
If the %-tage for afflictions is supposed to be based on the age threshold, than those crones should only get very few afflictions, and even fewer should get diseased?!

Could you please test some death-1 mages with normal lifespan, old and not-old when bought?

Agreed.

I don't think any more testing is necessary to confirm that bug. Crones have a lifespan 10x that of anything else on the chart. If lifespan helped in any meaningful way they'd have outlived the Augur Elders. FWIW, when I played EA Tien Chi with a growth scale (sorry, forgot the details) my Celestial Masters (Old at something like 220) still picked up afflictions at a good clip.
