Editing Unit Stats (section)

=== Lifespan ===
Lifespan defines how old a unit can be before having a '''chance''' of dying from old age. Subspecies have different stats for [[File:IconLifespanMale10x.png|frameless|28x28px]]male and [[File:IconLifespanFemale10x.png|frameless|28x28px]]female lifespans. This stat has no effect if the old age worldlaw is disabled or a unit has the immortal trait. The more years a unit is above their lifespan the higher chance they have of dying from old age. The chance of dying from old age is calculated by:

* X = Age/(Lifespan - 1)
* If this X is greater than 2 it is set to 0.5
* If the X is not greater than 2 but is greater than 0.3 then it is set to 0.3
* X * 100% equals the chance 
** This chance would be rolled every 1-20 game ticks
The age units turn into adults (for sapient species) is influenced by the lifespan stat. If units have a lifespan greater than 30 years they become adults at 16. If they it is 30 years or less they become adults at whatever there lifespan is x 0.12. So a unit with a lifespan of 20 will become an adult at 2.4 years old. A unit's breeding age is automatically set to the same value as there adult age. If units don't have a base lifespan predefined by the game then their base lifespan is set to 100.
