Hmm, good point

This makes me wonder...
What does "reduced risk of starving really mean exactly? Reduced how and by what amount? Same goes for the stelath skill, what is the difference between stealth +5 and stealth +15?

The second question is obvious - the difference is +10. Didn't you take math? =)

As for the first, I think that if you are short 10 supplies, instead of 10 troops starving (like in Doms I) 10 troops each have a % chance of starving. I don't know what the % is. I would prefer "reduced supply consumption" in that terrain type in addition to / instead of a "reduced starvation risk".

Shhhhh, you never know when one of my stats students might be watching...

So, ahem, I meant how is this calculated in game with respect to different chance of being discovered. Yep, that's what I meant.....
