Default Re: Thoughts on food


One thing I noticed about supplies, not sure if it is fixed yet: the supply items reduce the the supply requirement of the army carrying them, rather than increasing the amount of supplies available in the province.
This has one unfortunate consequence: an army in a low supply province, relying on supply items to survive, will be overly-starved should their supply usage exceed the amount available. This happens as the supply items seem to be ignored when the army is in a state of being under supplied.
For example: an army needing 101 supplies is given 4 bags of wine. Its supply usage drops to 1 supply. The army enters a zero supply province, and it begins to starve. It ought to suffer a single point of "starvation damage" (not sure how this is worked out exactly). However, it takes 100 points of starvation, because only the supply value of the province and the unadjusted supply requirement of the army (which doesn't count supply items) are taken into account.
