High King Erlond died peacefully in age 122?

Bad suprise in my high elves campaign. I have thought that elves are immortal Can I change the script to eliminate this?

If you make Elven generals immortal you make everyone's generals immortal. Tis' a limitation of the engine.

How do you change generals ages anyway? I understand you have to change all generals ages, but I want to know anyway

Go to the descr_campaign_db in the data folder, find the max_age uint and max_age_before_death uint and change the numbers to your preference.

Thanks for the help

Yes but then ever other character orc and man alike will never die.

He didn't die, he 'Sailed West'. No, when you make one general immortal they all become immortal, that's why Dwarves retire and Elves sail.

[Shadurak]

Yep. Only in RTW - Alex you can make faction-specific generals immortal.

Thanks for all replies
Baron Samedi, in your submod are Nazgul immortal too?

Forget it, I found answer in your submod instruction

[Ellin Athinaios]

Best solution is to have everyone immortal, and have the starting generals of Men die by script.

[Baron Samedi]

It is possible to make individual characters immortal. For instance I made Sauron immortal in my submod, by letting him spawn again once you let him get killed when playing as Mordor. But this only applies to characters who start at the campaign not for new spawned characters (since you can't give them a label).

[gaunty14]

I beleive they respawn in Mordor when they die in game ie they're physical form is broken and they need a rest

[sirfiggin]

just thinking... while their is a limit to how long someone can live, characters die of old age at fairly variable times... could the final age be made stupid long, then a load of hidden traits (or not) that effect the general time each race dies off? damn I should have gotten into coding, then this could have been more than a half-winded suggestion

If it is not possible to make elves immortal, is it possible, when a Elf died of old age, instead to write that he is died, to write that he has taken the sea to Aman?

It will solve both the problems (Lore and Engine problems). ^^

Your suggestion has already come true, when an Elf dies you receive the message '...... Sailed West' and about Dwarves, they retire.

Only Gondor and Gundabar ^^

So, if this is true... where is the problem? Everything is alright. ^^
