Maybe I'm not understanding the turn idea (I hope so), but if I am then that's just one more failed feature...
Basically, as I recall, every turn represents two years of time but characters will only age one year every two turns - so basically they live four times longer than they ought to.

Yes, it's anomalous, but the idea is that since turns aren't numbered by years, you won't notice it.
