The oldest family member you ever had?

[Connacht]

The oldest one I ever had reached 80 years before dying:

However, I think that it's possible that someone saw a even older character during a game, even if for those times reaching the seventies was like reaching the nineties today (although rare guys like Massinissa died at 88/90 if I remember well).

So, post here the most venerable kids (...) of any game of yours, obviously not from Alexander. :P

[||Lz3||]

mine would be Cnaeus Cornelius Blasio 76 years or so , but I should mention that I'm using alex.exe wich... -according to some rumors <.< - makes your FMs live a bit longer

I think I once heard about a guy who reached 98 in vanilla tough

[Hooahguy]

one guy in RTW lived to 101, but that was RTW....
idk about Eb tho...

[Mediolanicus]

My starting general on Cyprus with the Ptolies lived to be 88 in my 1.0 campaign with BI.

[d'Arthez]

97. Dentatus,the starting Roman faction leader.

[fenix3279]

108 on EB 1.0

The guy was some roman FM named "opius" or something like that. Oldest I've seen yet although there was someone who had a FM live to be 116.

in RTW a brutii family member lived 103 years, he died trying to capture rome from the SPQR,

in EB my pontos starting faction leader reached about 80

Corpulentus...

[konny]

When you don't know what do with your money you should use the "give_money -40000" cheat from time to time to prevent your characters from getting all those nasty "rich"-traits, including the one that makes them "corpulentus".

[Connacht]

Yes, I know, but, well, I often don't really care about, the game flows even with that and I still win with a large and strong empire within my hands, while always typing a cheat in order to reduce my treasury (my introits every turn are very large, actually I reached the 4.000.000 pieces of gold) would be terribly boring (and I also don't want to select every single city and change taxes so that I won't get too much income but still enough for paying upkeep and wages).

[Maion Maroneios]

Mine would be around his late sixties, the average. That is, in EB. In vanilla I once got an 83 year old Greek guy.

[Hax]

Dentatvs seems to be pretty tough.

What's with the water/land messed-up thingy?

[The Celtic Viking]

It's obviously the work of global warming.

[Hax]

I have no idea.

[fenix3279]

flash flood?

[Hax]

Nope. I think something went wrong with taking the screenshot itself. Oh well *shrug*

[Ibrahim]

the oldest FM I had was some governer of Campus-sakae in RTW vanilla, he was 86. the oldest diplomat (a Iulii game) lived to be 94.

In EB, the longest lasting man I had was a character who lived in Babylon-was there in 272BC; still there acting like god when i won...90 something to be sure.

EDIT: that's odd. the youngest person to die (24), and the oldest of every catagory are multiples of 12..or 6..wierd.

Its what happens when the sea province is flooded. There was a problem with one or more coordinates for flooding. IIRC

I had a diplomat in vanilla that went to the mid-110s. Didn't catch the exact age, as I threw him into Themiskyra for his retirement.

[Rilder]

73ish in my current campaign.

[Aemilius Paulus]

My family members are practically immortal. I save the game before & after everything I do and although I often overwrite, I have a whole library of saved games. Whenever I accidentally botch up the battle, I simply reload. This also goes for the deaths of my family members. I save the game just about every minute - no kidding, not a bit exaggerating! I have gotten them to over 110 and have not lost a single family member accidentally (I do kill a "waste-of-oxygen" family member every now and then). However I am not sure what is the limit for one's age in the EB script. I would be glad if someone told me what it was, because my starting Romani faction leader was supposed to die about 6 times but fortunately I saved him thanks to reloading. He is still alive and I am still playing my Romani campaign.

[TWFanatic]

I have a great-grandmother who is 91.

Oh you mean in EB. Well, I had a wife who lived over eighty once.

That seems a bit unfun.
