Summary0010180: People/creatures dying of old age die on exactly the first of the year
DescriptionI have a fortress with several hundred visitors in it. Immediately on the arrival of spring, I always get several announcements of people found dead, presumably of old age. It seems like it would make more sense to have the deaths be more sporadic throughout the year.

That's more of a 'feature' than a bug. Individual birthdays are probably more complicated and use more cpu to keep track of that a single check at the start of the year. One for the suggestions board I think.

Having the game check more often if a tree has grown than if an animal has died from old age seems buggy to me.
