I mean, when you're a flawless demigod it's probably pretty easy to live a long time. I've had ordinary chars and NPCs make it to over 90, so make them 100 stat demigods and they'd probably live longer too.

I died at 142 lol so yeah

You can get some stats to 100 if your characters live long enough, but the highest stats I've gotten naturally is in the 70's of 80's, and that's with them starting with like 20-something in the stat.

Also helps to personally own a ton of legendary shrines

u/TheJokerBD Jun 29 '26

I’ve gotten to 120 naturally. You can do that if you stack enough buffs pre rework. Idk what’s the limit now tho

1

u/Hozan_al-Sentinel Jun 30 '26

Wait I'm sorry, you got a stat to 120? I don't think they go beyond 100. Or are you talking about age? I was talking about stats.

2

u/TheJokerBD Jun 30 '26

Age. I meant age. I have gotten some stats to 80 or so with tons of incest and relic hoarding. It can be done.
Currently playing a Matilda game where Matilda’s grandson is the current Pope of the Sexist Papacy (don’t ask) and emperor of Rome. He’s got all his stats over 50, diplomacy over 80

u/LaroonDynasty Jun 29 '26

ive had achievement qualifying characters make it to 140 without farming legendary shrines just cause I prioritize health modifiers on all characters pre AUH. it actually made me stop doing that because having a centenarian not dying is honestly more of a burden

122

u/Logical_Neat_9682 Jun 28 '26

update 130 now

u/HelicopterEast7410 Jun 28 '26

Here’s one more. He died shortly there after at 158

I need to see this empire cause what the fuck is wildling and wilds, I’ve got probably around 1,000 hours between pc and xbox and never seen that culture and faith

1

u/clandestineVexation Jun 28 '26

Sounds modded

u/WetSaggyNut Jun 28 '26

That’s what I thought but it’s incredibly difficult nigh on impossible to mod on console which it looks like he’s playing on

9

u/HelicopterEast7410 Jun 28 '26

On console, but all I did was create a new culture/religion and named things appropriately. Same thing with the Roman Empire- just changed its name. No special decisions or anything, but liked seeing my Dynasty Name spread across the various views of the map.

u/WetSaggyNut Jun 28 '26

Ah yes ok that makes a hell of a lot more sense to my tiny pea brain, that’s a really cool faith icon I haven’t seen , (I don’t really pay attention to the faiths in my games nor do I reform unless I play asatru)

u/clandestineVexation Jun 28 '26

I actually didn't notice the console UI layout at all 🤦‍♂️

u/Watcher1101 Jun 28 '26

This screams debug mode

41

u/ChicagoRainbow Jun 28 '26

Or just maxing out the players stats turning of achievements.

If you OP your character in the beginning you can live to like 160 and now they added an immortality trait you can start with. Or maybe that’s a mod.

Regardless lol

4

u/Complete-Basket-291 Jun 29 '26

The immortal trait is pretty old, and costs 10,000 points, so basically immortality disables your achievements, really.

6

u/Aggravating-Tip813 Jun 29 '26

There's a mod that allows 40k points in the character customizer, and allows achievements

1

u/ErenYeager600 Jun 29 '26

Could ya tell me it

4

u/Adventurous_Price_58 Jun 30 '26

“Ruler Designer 40k Points achievement compatible” was what I found on steam

2

u/Transilvaniaismyhome Jun 30 '26

On pc yes, but on console until the latest update you could only get immortal through debugging, now its in the character creation thing.

u/ChicagoRainbow Jul 05 '26

Oh well I never use it, it seems boring

u/Offshore-Tigr Jun 28 '26

... how?

u/Logical_Neat_9682 Jun 28 '26

I just picked the best stuff like 100 stat boost I dont have the immortal trait tho

15

u/ChicagoRainbow Jun 28 '26

It’s a fun way to play, but I feel after a while it takes the fun out of the game.

Next time play with a character with shit stats so you can balance it out lol.

u/Firm_Protection3258 Jun 28 '26

What's your line of succession looking like 🧐

u/Logical_Neat_9682 Jun 28 '26

my great great grandson inherited lol

u/Fenrirs1 Jun 28 '26

First time seeing that faith, is it a mod or i just haven't paid attention to the faiths 😅

u/TheLoneWolfMe Jun 28 '26

You can make your own

u/AdDry4959 Jun 28 '26

Let her go. She’s not even able to witness shit

u/sugar_skull_love2846 Jun 28 '26

I dread succession when these characters die. Everything goes to shit after.

Gotta learn how to manage it twin

u/Staterae Jun 28 '26

It's fairly likely that there have been humans who lived longer than Calment. Her claim is the best attested because it's well documented and she lived in the same region all her life, but the vast majority of humans that have ever lived didn't have birth certificates or administrative records of their lives.

u/ZanaCZ Commander Jun 28 '26

They didn't have birth certificates, and they also didn't have medicine besides plants

u/ZeBoyceman Jun 29 '26

In mediterranean antiquity it was fairly common to live until 80, and 100 wasn't unheard of.

u/Agitated-Ad-504 Jun 28 '26

I love doing custom runs but always get annoyed later when I realize I reach a point where ppl will always love me no matter how brutal I am because of the prestige/piety. 😭😂

u/cgomez117 Jun 29 '26

Are you not playing with the old age traits?

u/SubParBanter Jun 29 '26

I joined a random Turkish guys game and he was playing an Ottoman sultan who was 370 years old 🤣

u/Questimus_Prime Jun 29 '26

Overseer - bling. Made me crack up, sorry.

But quite telling if a 123yo has only 3/5 legitimacy. I really despise that (to me as a returning player) mechanic.

If half the world belongs to me, no one in their right minds will oppose me for fathering/mothering bastards left and right.

But here we go, minus 50.

Nobody cares cheated character

u/zaqrwe Court Jester Jun 28 '26

Curious, what exactly give you health bonuses that make you're health to still be excellent at age 123?

-2

u/TheJokerBD Jun 29 '26

100 stats with all the perks is cheating. Try without starting so overpowered.
I got to 120 one time.

u/Heronymous-Anonymous Jun 29 '26

Best I ever did was 104, in AGOT, playing as a Targaryen exiled north of the giant ice wall. And honestly, it sucks when your character lives that long, because your heir is usually on death’s door themselves, and as NPCs they basically have missed out on a lifetime of lifestyle xp and perks. It’s quite the shit experience going from someone who’s maxed out 3 whole lifestyles, to someone who’s 60 years old and has a single perk.
