However this bonus does stick around through each incarnation of a legacy character, so it is a more or less permanent increase The archievements indicate there are 3 in total, one per campaign. – Every finished “Hook Quest” permanently adds a bonus. There are a few ways to increase retirement age: So you might have a very late retiring character, that is still barely function by age. Note that increasing the Retirement Age does not seem to delay when aging kicks in. Some of their experience can be transfered into a low level hero or legacy points. If a Hero is past the retirement Age when a chapter ends, they will retire. This hits melee fighters the most, as they are most likely to be hit. Wounds that used to heal in a week, suddenly can take a month. The penalty is about -7.5 per Age Level, rounded up. While Health is not going down quickly, Recovery Rate is! Heavy armor is generally only something for young people. This will limit your ability to maneuver in combat and increase your traveltimes on the overland map. This is one of the hardest hit stats, given the very limited sources of bonus speed. Speed suffers about -0.15 per Age Level, rounded up. As each class level gives about +1 Health, age is only a minor factor for this stat. However it will not save a hero that is already beyond retirement age. This will not increase the retirement age (indeed the one Involving Lord Evergreen actually reduces retirement age), instead the age will actually stop ticking up. There are some effects that actually turn off aging. You can roughly picture it as getting “stacks” of the aging debuff. Then come “old age”, “very old age” and “extremely old age” – the later keeps scaling, up to a penalty of around -50 to Recovery rate. It has no penlaties.Īround 30, 40 and 50 the young, middle and late “middle-ages” begin.

Half of the character stats are affected by time, and all of them negatively. And recapturing them does not grant you anything. Incursions will ruin your carefully secured provinces, setting back the progress. While these cards can be negated for Legacy points, this is generally prohibitively expensive to do.Įvery 400 days – the exact rate varries based on how many infested tiles there are – incursions will spawn. Having some unscouted or even infested tiles left over relevantly shortens the peacetime.Įvery about 150 days, a pack of 5 Calamity cards is drawn. The longer it took you to finish a chapter, the longer the peacetime. I personally observed pacetimes from 9 to 14 years. Required work, will be sped up by having hunters Keep in mind that having Warriors will speed up this process Keep in mind that having Mystics will speed up this process Especially as your heroes get older, this will be more and more of a issue. This is dependant on Speed, so it ties back to aging. Do not underestimate time it takes to get from A to B. The big reasons to spend time on adventure are: It is not uncommon to spend ~5 years on adventure – traveltimes, healing and securing add up quickly. While on adventure, the game tracks time:

You on the other hand have aged like milk: Spoiled, sour and ruining my meal.”
