Got a migrant child just now who is "two years old, born on the 7th of Felsite, 1058". Only problem is it's currently 18th Hematite, <b>1057</b>. Will try to keep an eye on her to see whether she goes all Benjamin Buttons on me, or was just born to a different calendar or something.[[Special:Contributions/202.156.10.234|202.156.10.234]] 00:09, 30 September 2010 (UTC) | Got a migrant child just now who is "two years old, born on the 7th of Felsite, 1058".

Is it worth it to mention the trivia that if you seek the age of a baby born on that day, it says "S/He was born today, which makes him/her very young indeed."? -Yeti Yeti 08:35, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
What is effect of age on dwarves?
Is it my imagination or fact that dvarves will lose some of attributes with age? I see in Runesmith that one of my dwarves have strength attribute constantly decreasing, point by point. I wonder what is the cause of it... Elfy 17:50, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
- It's called skill/stat rust. Toady added it somewhere around last winter, but currently you can't train up stats again without military training. Age does not affect this, though. Urist McCheeseMaker 19:28, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
Dying of old age
One of my donkeys died of old age. Eventually I reloaded an old save where the donkey was alive, and much later it is still alive. Old age death mechanic = ? --Peglegpenguin 21:25, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

Negative age?
Got a migrant child just now who is "two years old, born on the 7th of Felsite, 1058". Only problem is it's currently 18th Hematite, 1057. Will try to keep an eye on her to see whether she goes all Benjamin Buttons on me, or was just born to a different calendar or something.202.156.10.234 00:09, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
