All right, I finished my first test. The first column is how many turns the diplomat lived past 50, the second is how many died at the start of that turn.
<max_age uint="70"/>
<max_age_before_death uint="71"/>
<old_age uint="50"/>
The problem here is that the majority died in less than 16 turns, at the age of 57. I'm operating under the assumption that it's best if just as many people live past 60 as die before sixty, so it balances out without shifting from the normal death age. I'll try 40-80 now; do that about three times and see how it goes.
Zim, quick question: Did you set <max_age_before_death uint="81"/> For those tests? In order to spread out the deaths, it should only be one higher than 'max_age uint'. Any higher and people start dropping off really quickly once they reach the minimum age, like in vanilla LTC.
