[27_173_38a] inconsistent lifespans in world_history_xyz
« on: March 26, 2008, 01:20:00 am »

This is not a bug. sorry.

  • Plidus (b.396 d. 564, Reign Began: 413), *** New Line, Never Married
         No Children
     
  • Paylder (b.475 d. 636, Reign Began: 564), *** New Line, Married (d. 640)
         4 Children -- Ages at death: 142 129 72 59
     
  • Glibus (b.577 d. 742, Reign Began: 636), Inherited from father, Married (d. 748)
         4 Children -- Ages at death: 106 105 101 100
     
  • Srigilisolber (b.636 d. 803, Reign Began: 742), Inherited from mother, Married (d. 805)
         4 Children -- Ages at death: 85 68 52 29

    Glibus the kobold was born in 577 and died in 742, making her 165 years old. Her father, Paylder, had four children, whose ages at death were 142, 129, 72 and 59. None of their lifespans matches Glibus' lifespan. Hence a contradiction.

    Likewise, Srigilisolber was born in 636 and died in 803, making him 167 years old. This doesn't match the lifespan of any of Glibus' children.

    EDIT: I figured out how this works: the "Ages at death:" is how old each of the children were when the parent died, not how old each child was when that child died.
    It should be written more clearly, such as "Age at parent's death:" imho.

Nono, those are the children's ages at the FATHER'S death, not their own.
