i have the magic faction and i had a villager that lived to 98. about 20 more have lived over ninety, but 98 is my highest. 
Yay! I'm glad to hear there's some hope for us Magic factioned people! Heidirea, do you have your game set to "Easy", "Normal" or "Hard". Mine has been set to hard, but I'm wondering if it might be worth it to move it back down to "Easy" for this last award I'm missing.
