[beta 3A] [minor bug] [dynasty] Character's age

July 10, 2010 12:57:56 PM from Elemental ForumsElemental Forums

I've had a quick look at the previous posts but I don't think it has been mentionned yet. Sovereign is 4 years old when it gives birth to his/her first child.... ! you have a 24yo sovereign with 20yo childs, I know it's a mage but, well...

Sorry if it was already reported somewhere and I wouldn't have noticed.

It was spotted at numerous times and even Brad talks about that in an interview. It seems that in the world of Elemental, years don't mean the same thing for chidrens and for adults.

here is the interview http://www.neoseeker.com/Articles/Games/Interviews/elemental/2.html as was referring too. And especially

Time flows strangely in the world of Elemental. Those first 18 years “fly by” for the children of sovereigns (takes about 100 turns for a child to grow up). But after that, they age very very slowly.

I guess strange aging is a good thing. You don't want your Sovereign retiring due to old age every 50 turns or whatever. Then again you don't want a child to take 1000 turns to mature. So I guess this makes sense. If all else fails we could use a relativity argument? In the world of Elemental, children run around at 100mph at most times (Just like our world!) and their special version of relatitivity results in this age change.
