| Random paths (shown as {{:magicpath:path_u.png?14&nolink}}) are **not** shown in a unit's starting age on the preview. This is because their effect depends on whether the path turns out to be a [[Divine Magic|Priest]] level or a regular [[Magic|Mage]] level; which isn't actually an issue in unmodded Dominions 5, but still. Both Mage and Priest levels will increase your starting age, but only the type that increases it **the most** will be factored in. The impact of levels on age is then determined by the unit's max age, **ignoring changes brought by Magic paths or sites at this step**, with a floor of 40 and a ceiling of 750. | Random paths (shown as {{:magicpath:path_u.png?14&nolink}}) are **not** shown in a unit's starting age on the preview.

| You see this in [[uruk-ma|MA Uruk]], where the ??Entu#2948?? (max age 50) with {{path>W1S2H3,100%WESN,10%WESN}} has a somewhat-accurate preview regardless of what the 100% path random becomes (since 7.14 × 4 = 28.56 while 10 × 3 = **30**), but has around 5-6 years added on with their 10% random (since 7.14 × 5 = **35.7**). | You see this in [[uruk-ma|MA Uruk]], where the ??Entu#2948??

The dividers are different for different max age brackets, by the way; they're **9** and **6** for units with a max age between 199 and 400 (not inclusive), and they're **12** and **8** for units with a max age of 400 or greater. |

| After these calculations, whatever is added to the starting age by Mage-or-Priest levels is given a random multiplier that is decided by what is added, the rate of aging (i.e. from sites, traits, and the Unaging [[Bless]]), and a roll. The math here is tough to understand, but the multiplier seems to be between 70% and 130% without aging modifiers. | After these calculations, whatever is added to the starting age by Mage-or-Priest levels is given a random multiplier that is decided by what is added, the rate of aging (i.e. from sites, traits, and the Unaging [[Bless]]), and a roll.
