I noticed some weird things about the lifespan:
1. I'm playing as Dáin, but he already has 490 years. What is the dwarves lifespan?
2. After Aragorn died with 135 years, his son and daughter (emperors of Gondor and Arnor respectively) became incapable around the 100 years, but now both of them are over 200 years.
3. It has nothing to do with lifespn, but i cant get the levy of Aglarond out of there, i think the connection with helm's deep is missing.

1/ Hmmm... He should died around 300 normally i think. I'll look at the dwarvens lifespans, thanks for this report!
2/ Well, the incapable thing is triggered to happens for all men after 100, but maybe can we change it so the heirs of isildur won't have the same conditions.
3/ Ok, will give this info to our map-workers ;) Thanks!

I also would like to report a bug I am having in regards to lifespan. I make my own house and I chose to rule a small part of the wilderness to build up my kingdom. I am dunedain and the same "race" as Aragorn.
1. First character lived to be well over 100years
2. became incapable at 70 every time
3. All children died at or around age 35 of a period of illness or sickness

It is very hard to maintain a family tree or dynasty rather when all my kids die at age 25 and by the time I die from battle i've had 359 total kids with 60different wives.

Hmm, did you added the blood of numenor traits to your characters?

I don't understand your last words : "and by the time I die from battle i've had 359 total kids with 60different wives."?

My first character never dies by age or sickness but all the kids do. I have to try and kill him via battle which never happens. Do I need to have a certain trait to prevent all my kids from dying of Pneumonia/illness/sickness ? if so I was unaware but yes my first guy (me) generally gets about 30kids (I severely) overestimated it, but I do go through wives like a sickly man does Kleenex. Just about every childbirth the wife dies.
