Nope, stealthy armies don't eat. What you noticed could be caused by:

- an enemy seizing a nearby province, thus cutting or your supply lines to the province you troops starved in.

- a special site in that province that tilted the scales here towards death, cold or heat.

Are you refering to Dominions 1 now? If you are not, then I have to wonder if you have even tried to verify this in Dom 2? I have and there is no question that the Stealth units I have tested do require supplies. Abysian Slayers produced the same result as the Jotunheim Chief - 1 supply unit in upkeep. And this has nothing to do with supply lines, as this supply cost is clearly evident in your home province at turn 1. Just walk back and forth between two provinces with a stealthy unit and see for yourself.
