game option/old age

[Shovah32]

They are old because they are old women, that simple.

[Dedas]

Yes, that's it. She will get fewer afflictions from old age though, as she has death magic.

[Sombre]

I'm all for more options. I'd never use this one if it was implemented but I'm never going to be against having the choice.

I think it would make more sense if you were simply able to turn age off entirely though, rather than making everyone 5 years below the maxage.

Personally I like the old age feature. It adds flavour, and makes all those commanders seem more human. I also like the gamble that is associated with purchasing old age mages. Some mages die from old age, but not a lot, especially if you have a growth scale.

I can understand why some people wouldn't like it though, especially those why don't like micro management or want the game more strategic.

I am all for the option though. But like Sombre it is one I would never use.
