Default Re: Severity of starvation

I think starvation is fine as it. There are advantages to playing a nature race. And there are disadvantages to bring large armies into foreign lands without nature items to feed them.

Sometimes you have no choice. But ideally an invading army consists of some of you r better human troops, with a mixture of mechanical men, undead, trolls etc that need not eat.

Obviously this may slow down your advance to assemble such an army. But that is a tactical decision. Do you march in quickly and take starvation losses-or move in at a slower pace, but well prepared and not having starvation as an issue?

These issues arise in other contexts. In the Big Game, do I hire tons of tough independents for a short term gain(before disease make them useless), or do i move slower and use only cold blooded troops/undead etc that are immune to MA Ctis' deadly dominion?
