Re: How bad is starving?
Starvation is distributed randomly each turn ... therefore it wouldn't make much sense to pick out "starving" troops.

Re: How bad is starving?
I want to pick out the starving ones to send them back to a province with supplies and send the ones that are not starving on to fight. The non-starving ones won't have the morale penalty. The province they move into to fight has enough supplies for them. Not sure why that doesn't make sense?
Also, holding down 'S' does pick out the starving troops.

I agree with Endoperez. But I have to add a
Smack to (my) forehead and say, why didn't I try that?! If w=wound, why wouldn't s=starve?!

It makes a lot of sense. Starving troops, even if they have no afflictions take a -4 hit to morale which can be a huge swing in a squad morale check. It can be very useful to simply leave the low morale troops in the province that they're in before the army moves.

Re: How bad is starving?
Yes, it's very useful. Thank you! If anyone is listening, a 'd' to filter out all diseased units would also be nice. Not that I'd do anything as evil as ship all my poor diseased troops to the closest front as cannon fodder, or failing that dump them in the nearest ocean.

Re: How bad is starving?
Add me to the list of players who were unaware of the "s" sort.
On the same topic, how does everyone else deal with supplying large armies if you don't have nature? I've taken to only playing nations with nature so I can forge summer sword, broth pot and wine bag. I have in the past empowered indy mages to 2N to forge the +1N flower mace, and gone from there, but I've had unlucky games without encountering an animal tribe or druid for way too long and finally quit playing nations without at least 1N on a recruitable mage. I know there are many commanders with a turkey leg (supply bonus) but I would rather make my commanders research, forge or command, not have 4 or 5 of them schlep around functioning as supply wagons. And supply commanders are a lot more vulnerable than a fully outfitted commander with 3 supply asset items.
The supply pigs of the Heims are great, but I'm now into playing (or trying) to play everyone else, but only if they have a N pick.

Re: How bad is starving?
Even I didn't know about the 's' shortcut, which is going to come in right useful sooner or later. Thanks for the heads-up!  |
