I like the supply mechanisms as they are, although I'm usually play Caelum and are always starving...so I usually take growth1 or 2 and the wizard's tower, which I can built quickly at my front lines to give me the supplies I need (200 per Tower).

Sure, I still need some of these Bag of Wines, but I'd rather think that this item is broken, and not the mechanism itself. Supplies should prevent people from amassing troops for too long - and I think that this is a pretty useful idea! Otherwise one amasses a big army only, since it is usually better to attack with a big force instead of a lot of attacks with smaller armies. The supply-mechanism makes you pay for this advantage...

These are just my thoughts. In the essence all I'm saying is that supply is meant to be annoying ;-)
