it there any way to change it so they can live longer?
is there any mode for this or a text file that can be changed?

don't know about that.....
but you can:
a) reload every time they die
b) use a 4 turn per year script so they live longer because a year is 4 turns instead of 2

Thanks for the moving!

how do I cange it to four turn per year script?
can it be like,10 turn per year?

I just found out that all the characters age at the same time
so if that time could be skipped,then they wont die !
is there any script for that?

you mean that they get old on the age of 50? or what?

No, he means that all characters in the game age when the season changes from winter to summer. So, if you have a script that "skips" this change, then your generals will never age. Or you can make them age just once ever x turns...

There are some multiple turn per year scripts, and I believe LotR:TW uses one with no winter, so characters never age. And I'm sure there's a thread with a very very similar subject somewhere around here, if you search more carefully.

But If you skip winter, then new family members would never get to be generals cause they never age,to be 16
the only solution is to extend characters age to like 150 years instead of 70

You can't extend the age limit, it's hardcoded. And what's more, it's random. Every time he ages, your general has increased chances to die. That may happen at 60, or it may happen at 80 but you can't control it. Max age is 124 iirc, after that characters will go back to 0 years and start all over.
