Well I was having a quick browse over my family tree, when I saw this. The general died in a battle more than 10 years ago. The son is 5 years old. I don't know, but I think his widow just continued with her life or something. Hehe. The son is still in the Comnenus family tree though. Oh well, it's fine by me!

Funny, but I think you could chalk it up to the wonky aging mechanics of the game. Characters including kids, I think, only age one year for every four years of game time.

So, if we went by game time, that kid gestated in the womb for 36 months.

Perhaps the general isn't really dead, but merely wants you to think so...

In Kingdoms, the time scale is .5 years per turn so if the kid was born 10 or 11 turns ago right before the general died, he would now be 5. If you are playing regular, then something is wacky :laugh4:

Like OK said, it's the age mechanics.

1 game turn equals 2 game years

2 game turns equal 1 avatar year

so, 1 avatar year equals 4 game years

Which means a character will age 1 year every 2 times you hit the button

The general died 14 game years ago. So, if the kid is 5 now in avatar years, he was actually alive when the general died because he would have been born 18 or 20 game years ago. Draganos was probably born in 1220 or 1222. Since an avatar ages 1 year every two turns, he is either 5 right now or 5 and a half.

So, while it looks weird, it is quite consistent while looked at in conjunction with how M2TW has the years/turns/age ratio.

:book:

Now, I'm assuming that your playing Kingdoms and Kingdoms has the same year/turn/age ratio.
