Huh. Usually my first kid doesn't come of age before I'm, like, 30something, which still means they aged 20 years in 10 years. Curious. I never looked at that before, I think I'll have to eye it.

Though I know that Brad stated at one point that the time per turn is intended to be meaningless, and that your kids come of age in X turns, and you can apply whatever timeframe you want to the turn schedule based on your own preference, and that that is why they only list what turn number you are on instead of what year. They meant for it to be abstract.

The poor children must have Soap Opera Rapid Aging Syndrome.  It's a tragic inherited disorder that has afflicted ten generations of my dynasty over the past 60 years or so.

I have never had a child grow up quicker than that, though I suspect it has to do with my gamespeed of Epic.

Wait that raises the question, does the game speed affect it, I tend to play it on fast.

Wish we could edit there appearance when they came of age.....      it seems to randomly pick what they look like..  lol
