prolonging lifetime in M2TW

[Vercynogetorix]

Hi,

i have run afoul of a problem, i wonder if its possible by using/creating a trait's or some other method to prolong lifetime of a character in medievial 2? i wish either to make him deathless or at least live 300+ game years.

Is it possible to edit the maximum age of characters before they die? In M2TW they always seem to die around the age of 60-61. How would I go about changing it so they can live to be older?

Look in descr_campaign_db.xml
<family_tree>
...
<max_age_before_death uint="128"/>
...
<old_age uint="70"/>
...
<family_tree>

Seems like 128 is the maximum displayable age. Else it wraps around and starts at 0 again on the character scroll. Internal do not know exactly.
In this case the character will die at an age of 128. At an age of 70 he starts dying. Means there will be a probability he will die at the end or start of turn.

cant find this file, where is it?

[irishron]

It's in the data folder. You have to unpack the game to find it.

Yes in a way you have to extract or unpack it.
