Ah, yes the age thing....
There is a bit of a discussion in the Real Arcade VV forum about this very thing. I think I started it (so now I'll finish it, haha) with a post called funnily enough "And now the age thing", there is now a post by Jer (our resident techmeister) "Headstones, etc.."
Anyway, in one of my villages my eldest was 98.
And as I doubt if I ever "met" this VV don't know what he/she was or did. What I mean by that is I never actually saw any villager creeping around the VV in his/her 90's and then dying, I'm certain I would have noticed.
I always check the details of my VV's when I open the game and have never, ever see any in my details with an age of over 80, let alone seen them walking around trying to work, etc.
I think that VV's normal life span is usually late 70's and that's it. It is a very, very, very rare occurence for them to live older then this.
I do believe, however, that the stats board is a mess and is wholly inaccurate about most details, including ages of VV, and I hope in VV2 this is improved and
resolved.
But our Jer in Real Arcade is testing various theories on different computers to compare data, he said it would take a few days, I think it should be interesting what he finds out.
My best guess is that less then 10% of VV's live over 80 whether they eat the so called "magic" fruit or are masters at anything. Although, apparently master builders seem to have the most stressful careers.
Anyway, where was I, oh yes, the age thing....
Best of Irish,
Maura
