All characters die at the age of 44

[Rex Inanimatus]

DLV 1.2 teutonic wars, playing Danmark VH/VH

I have read somewhere that characters do not cease to exist at the age of 60 though somewhere from early 40's than have an increased chance to tip over... till something with grey hair

Well there is no need to dye grey hair because all characters from merchants to admirals, from kings to spies meet the grim reaper at 44...

Is there a way to tweak this, or if not, I rather have them all meet their ancestors at the age of 60 instaed of 44.(the vanilla way)

TIA

yeah, when i play DLV5.2 as Byzantium, many of my family members die early, the reason is just dying peacefully..very strange..

Ps: when i conquer Adana Castle, i find that i can recruit general bodyguard..does it mean generals can be recruited in a big enough castle?

In the desc_campaign_db file there is a "family" section where you can tweak old age, coming of age, max life, etc.

Let me check it out. In DLV Teutonic Knights characters should be dying from between 29 and 90 (max.)

The settings are here if you want to check for yourself:

../dlv_teutonic_knights/data/descr_campaign_db.xml file:

<family_tree>
<max_age uint="89"/>
<max_age_for_marriage_for_male uint="55"/>
<max_age_for_marriage_for_female uint="40"/>
<max_age_before_death uint="90"/> sets auto death age
<max_age_of_child uint="10"/>
<old_age uint="28"/> sets age where can start dying
<age_of_manhood uint="14"/>
<daughters_age_of_consent uint="14"/>
<daughters_retirement_age uint="40"/>
<age_difference_min int="-10"/>
<age_difference_max int="20"/>
<parent_to_child_min_age_diff uint="12"/>
<min_adoption_age uint="17"/>
<max_adoption_age uint="19"/>
<max_age_for_conception uint="50"/>
<age_of_manhood_close uint="14"/>
<max_number_of_children uint="4"/>
</family_tree>

Cheers!

Hmm...nothing seems to indicate why everyone would be dying at 44 for him :hmmm:

I'm not seeing this problem in my DLV Teutonic Knights 1.2 campaigns. I looked at two late game saves:

Novgorod (1307) 5 of 33 generals are older than 44 with the oldest being 57

Poland (1309) 6 0f 35 generals are older than 44 with the oldest being 66

I'll test it with Denmark this weekend, but I wouldn't think changing factions will have any different behavior.

Cheers!

Thanks a lot for the response, my file matches exactly with the above file. I'll have to wait a while before my remaining beardless generals/admirals will reach the age of 44. Maybe i have a merchant left that is nearing that age to go to merchants walhalla.

Though at the momentt i have so few characters left that statistics are a bit dubious.

I did a quick run through with Denmark:

Denmark (1266) 3 of 10 generals are older than 44; faction leader is 47; oldest character is a merchant at 53.

i ran other campaigns as well and haven't got any trouble at all, i believe it has something to do with decline. My danish strategy is to get rid of Reval and that castle beside it, due to cost reduction and multiple wars. So you have many characters/land.

If I blitzkrieg the map my man grew beards!

Thank you all for the support.

Excellent! Happy campaigning my friend. Cheers! dd
