Burden of time and Undead (bug?)

I'm playing with Ermor in Late Era. I casted the Burden of time and 2 turn after, I see afflictions strike many of my undead commander

. It is a bug?

Check the description of a commander with afflictions, then choose "fatigue". You'll see current age and maxage in there. If current age is above maxage, the undead are suffering from their ancient bodies crumbling down. It could still be a bug, because Ashen Empire undead are supposed to be pretty tough bunch.

If they aren't old, Burden of Time probably causes random afflictions. In this case, it is most probably a bug.

Of course, longdead and soulless also often start their undead careers with afflictions from their previous lives.

I checked the max age, they aren't old. Many gains affliction without battle. And when your best mage after your god gains mute... :'(

random afflictions from BoT. They shouldn't be affecting undead though...

I've used the same strategy before in SP. That is, LA Ermor casting Burden of Time, and either something has changed since 3.00 to make the spell affect undead (wrongly) or I was especially lucky when using this in the past because I do not remember such serious problems afflicting my undead under the spell.
