Where to mod to reduce max ruler and leader age?

[Kerenos]

Hello,

I wish to mod my game to reduce the max age a ruler or leader can attain. I find that having them for over 50 years is too long. For example, I have a ruler in one game whom I've had for 50+ years. He's 75 and still in average health. I could also modify how health deteriorates based on age. Can you please provide keys words and the script file, so that I may locate the code.

Thanks

In the faction.bsf script file, on line 12275, you have a variable called $RULER_ENDYEAR. does this determine how long a ruler can live? On line 12379 there is the CHARACTER_HEALTH_MAX_AGE. Can this be modified so that health deteriorates faster as the ruler reaches his sixties and seventies?

Thanks.

Sorry for the late answer, if case of emergency don't hesitate to PM, that will send me an email notification.

Don't manipulate the first variable starting with a $

You can fiddle though with these ones
#define CHARACTER_HEALTH_DEGRADE_BASE 4 // 4% chance per turn health category degrades
#define CHARACTER_HEALTH_DEGRADE_DECA 6 // +6% chance per turn health category degrades if decadent govt (unhealthy habits)
#define CHARACTER_HEALTH_DEGRADE_AGEh 20 // age time this amount (in hundredth) extra chance (age of 40 x 20/100 = +8)
#define CHARACTER_HEALTH_MAX_AGE 80 // starting at this age, you lose one cat per turn

It's in MapGlobals.bsf

Thanks. This is just what I was looking for.
