What's the oldest named character you've seen?
I've got a spy who's still going strong at 81! I just sent him from Larissa to spy on Byzantium (I hope he makes it). That's the oldest I've noticed in my games. I've seen a few 70 somethings, but most of my faction leaders start dying in their mid 60's.
My oldest named in RTW was 75 or something faction leader in Pergamum, who was chruning out spies and assassins..... I do not know for the others...
My oldest character was a general who lived to be 82. And then he died. He was a very good general, so to honour his death, i captured another province for him.
I've had a spy be 88 before, but he dropped dead the next turn, man was he good! He had bribbed so many enemy armies lol, guess that's why he refused to just die! But it seems that my faction leaders themselves like to die in their 60's, I think 60+ means they'll die whenever, so better make good use of them if you can.
i had one almost get into the 90's 89 died the next turn though, he was a faction hier a couple times but i guess he didnt smoke & eat his greens ever day ~:)
My 81 yr old spy never made it from Larissa to Byzantium. He croaked about 150 miles from his target.
But, boy was he good.
I don't recall the exact age, but I've hit early 80's. 83 sticks in my mind for some reason.
I had a 96 year old Seluecid General... I will see if I can dig up the pic I took of it.
Bloody hell, 96!?
I've had a 71 year old wanting to marry one of my generals daughters. She was 15 too!! :stop:
Ewwww.....what a sicko perv.....
15 was over the hill in those days....
Girls got married off at like 12
Yes, but when the bride is marrying a 71 year old? Bleuch.....
The world was run by dirty old men what do you expect???
Well I was wrong there was the occasional young ruler, who nobody trusted and so on, like Selim the Grim, I think that was his name, the Turk that conquered Constantinople.
My Brutii faction leader lived to an age of 94 (or was it 95).
I'm sure I've seen daughters married aged 12-13 in RTW. Usually to 50+ year old guys too ~:eek:
yep that happens to me too it is really annoying cause mostly i need young guys to keep passing on ancilleries and have a gouvernour in every provinceQuote:
