So, apparently people have on occasion wondered whether it was possible for a dwarf to die of old age. I can't answer that question. However, it appears humans can:



Context: I was sleeping outside after the bug with shopkeepers labelling you a thief after you've legitimately bought something had made me distinctly unwelcome across a large area. I get jumped:
"You will remember the Tattooed Spirits when we are finished with you!"
And one of them promptly and memorably dies of old age. I picture the Tattooed Spirits as a band of roving evil geriatrics, risking heart failure every time they enact one of their diabolical schemes. Certainly, they've made my game more colourful...

Yeah, it's been in for a while. Before .17 I had actually stumbled into a human town, and everyone was dying of old age pretty much simultaneously, it was weird.

I love death by old age. In .16, I fast traveled into a human town and I hadn't taken a single step when the warlord died of old age. So much for getting a quest out of the geezer.

I'm fairy certain that death by old age has been in since the very first version. I know for sure that a certain long-run 2D fort had a dwarf or two die from old age.
