The oldest man alive

I've had Archimedes in my retinue for almost 200 years and I thought he was old from the beginning! =)
errr... just a thought on the immortal ancillaries. Also, I think you should be able to just fire some of them (tired of always getting inventors and siege engineers when playing scipii)...

Give the ones you don't want to the oldest members of your family. You can kill off the old ones this way too. Yes, I think you should be able to do more with ancillaries like kill them, give them (only the good ones) to your allies and enemies, even send them into battle as a relief force.

(Sir, there are more troops coming, the hairdresser, the cook, your hunting dog, and the librarian, the day is saved!!)

Don't forget the senatorial horse! =)

The problem is that most of my family members are scattered around my settlements so I usually don't have anyone nearby to give the bad ancillaries.
