If I remember well, I started the game around 20 to 25 years old. Now I am about 30 something but my first kid, which did not appear before turn 250 is now 20 years old. So he age faster than me.
It's just a gameplay design decision, so that your children can become useful units.
Aganerral is correct. We wanted the children to grow up faster so you can use them as a hero sooner.
I think you should age normally as do your kids, only since this is fantasy and wizard& sorcerey affair, your children can start leading armies at 10 years old or younger and get married around puberty, but don't have their own offspring until their late teens. Like good fantasy.
why not have the sovereign age at the same speed as the kids? old-age doesn't have any effect on the sovereigns does it? why can't the sovereign age at the same rate and be 50 or 80 or 120? an ancient, yet magically youthful sovereign makes a lot more sense than unexplained shifts in time passage for different generations... that's just weird and obviously unintuitive. even fantasy worlds need to be internally consistent in order for players to be able to immerse themselves in them.
I can see Channelers aging slower than the general non-chaneller populace, however wouldn't this just mean they live longer looking younger when quite old? Do the Devs make the Sov die at a certain age? If not then why not let a clock that measures game years be uniform for all... I mean can you imagine if the Canadian clocks and calendars ran half as fast as thos in the US?
Just sayin... it's not as big a deal and broken Techs in the kingdom tree but it is annoying and displays a certain nonchalance for the consistent passage of time. Make My sov older faster I don't care but I looked once and my Sov and wife were 26 and had 13 and 8 yr old children...
Well considering that the designer expected that you need to create a dynastly to have a successor, if you age much slower, there is no need to have kids anymore since you do not have to fear dying from aging.
I never had the case that a Hero died because of age. Anybody had this?? (I don't think that this is bad or good 
I just wanted to know if anybody had the case that a unit was dying because of age)
well this is a fantasy world and it would not be unrealistic for your sovereign to live to be 200 or 300 hundred years old. this would fix the aging issue, also if the sovereign has offspring andhe died battle (a hero's death of course) the kindom would have a new heir. Would'nt you use your sovereign more in battle if you new he had a heir to the throne?
Well it was implied in the book that one of the channeler's was close to a 1000 years old.
