after my generals hit 60 i kinda consider them dead cause i know they're most likely gonna die somtime in the next 5 yrs, so i can't count on them to do anything.

Marcus Dentatus, at the age of 97 in one of my campaigns. He had the privilege to see through the Marian reforms. He died as a raving mad lunatic with +10 Influence.

The oldest I can remember was in his 70s when he finally kicked the bucket. I say "finally" because it seems that the incompetents live longest.

That's because nothing bothers to kill them off.

Appius Africanus is 67 in my Romani campaign. 8 command. 7 management. 10 Influence. He's been on campaign so long, he only has 18 bodyguards. Double silver chevron, Possible reformer. Imperator. blah, blah, blah. He is the best general I've ever had in EB (ton of other good traits & ancilliaries as well) And d@%$# it. I just know he's going pass soon.

Save/reload every turn until he rolls over to 0. It resets the trigger.

And so it goes...

Appius Africanus passed peacefully at the grand old age of 69. On campaign in Numidia. What great fun it was role-playing this old warrior - on the strategic map and the tactical battlefield.
