It's updated slowly as you modify your behaviors - it takes into account overall average health, sustained injuries during your life, your Guilt level (a new mechanic that we'll be blogging about soon!), your average Spirit in your life (basically your mental health), how hard you work yourself (do you always use all of your APs each turn or do you save some for rest and relaxation), the amount of Inner Circle friends you have, and certain Epiphanies (basically Ruler skills and abilities, like a character skill tree).
On the Ruler Summary, you have a large Health display (in the upcoming version) that has your Life Expectency, showing you how many turns you have until you die. I understand you are trying for an in-depth look at one reign, but no one is going to find the game fun if they are chugging along, accomplishing something, and then BAM! RNG says the Emperor has died of poor health, poisoning, old age, or whatever. I am already cringing at the hate that is going to assail this game if you really stick to the course of having the game just end if the Emperor dies. He was referring to the ability to CONTINUE a game as a kid-emperor.

Originally posted by jscott:I don't think he was talking about mods to let you START as a kid-emperor. Plus, beyond your starting system and planet, everything else in the game is randomized, including your tech, your military setup, the other Houses, all the characters, all the planets and systems, and all of the outside cultures/empires (coming soon!). So yes, you can die, but properly played you should have about 200-250 turns (4 turns a year, 50-70 additional years) to play, which should allow for plenty of gameplay. We actually consider Alliance internally to be a 4X RPG, to be honest. Or you can spend more time on yourself, including upgrading your skills and abilities, but you won't have as much time to focus on the 4X-y stuff, as well as your relationships, although if you're in superior physical and mental health, you'll get more AP anyway, so. Regarding the single player lens, turns are one season (3 months) each, and you start at 18, but a big part of the game is actually taking care of yourself, both emotionally and physically, and so if you choose not to take care of yourself and always use maximum AP (Action Points) towards running your empire, you'll die faster, but your turns will have more results.
Well, let's be clear, there are going to be several scenarios available, with unique win/loss conditions, as well as an online-tracked 'roguelike' mode where you can compete to have the highest 'reign score' in the world, without specific win conditions. Having the game tied to a single character (who apparently can die) is just going to encourage rampant save-scumming and frustration too.
