Oldest Named Character
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.

As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.

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.

Re: Oldest Named Character
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
Re: Oldest Named Character
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.

Re: Oldest Named Character
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.
Charge, repeat as necessary.

Re: Oldest Named Character
I've had a 71 year old wanting to marry one of my generals daughters. She was 15 too!!
Re: Oldest Named Character

Re: Oldest Named Character
15 was over the hill in those days....
Girls got married off at like 12
Re: Oldest Named Character
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.

Re: Oldest Named Character
My Brutii faction leader lived to an age of 94 (or was it 95).
Re: Oldest Named Character
I'm sure I've seen daughters married aged 12-13 in RTW. Usually to 50+ year old guys too

Re: Oldest Named Character
You will have to be under 40 if you are to marry any of my lovely daughters... (and if you're close to 40 you better have some good stats going for you!)
