Summer sword supply bonus, hmm..

The summer swords were not on stealthy units.

A negative supply usage is not a bug. It is a Good Thing(TM) when fighting Ashen Ermor. It simply means that the army is generating more supplies than it is using.

Except for some reason, my summer sword army isn't. I have always used wineskins, but this time I needed to provide a lot of supply bonus fast, so I went for the summer swords, which are cheaper than cauldrons.

Anyone else have experience with summer swords, or do y'all use wineskins and/or cauldrons of broth?

If you have negative supply usage, your army shouldn't be starving. I can't think of a reason. I don't remember actually being in a supply-0 province with human-type troops, however; that may be something special. Maybe that overrides something? Did you check for special events?

Perhaps someone else is sneaking around as well. I'm not sure how that would affect your supplies.

Something seems to be strange though.

yeah does it show the starve icon or are they only diseased ? perhaps a harvester of sorrows is in the same province and deseases your troops .

I've seen starvation at times when I shouldn't have as well. Playing Pangaea, I had something like Supplies 52, Supply Usage 54, yet had about 7 units starving when it should only have been 1 or 2.

I think I have had something like Cainehill, but the numbers were other way round... My units were starving even though I had ~5 supplies more than needed. That might have been the case of stealthy units, or just few scouts, though.

I've seen that a lot too, but when I checked it was always due to variations to the heat/cold or growth/death scales. These variations always happen after your troops are checked for starvation, so you may get starving notices when the province supplies says 'enough', and vice-versa.
