Default Re: Thoughts on food

I do not really see what the gain of basing supply on HP's instead of size would be. As the system stands mounted humans allready eat twice that of unmounted humans, because of cavalry being size 3. Fliers are usually about one size class bigger than comparable troops without wings, thus they usually eat 50% to 100% more. Giants being size 4 and having 30 hp or so would have about the same supply ratio visavi humans that they allready do. My point with all this is that many of Saber Cherrys suggestions are allready pretty much covered by the current system. If desired some or all of the remaining points could be added on top of the current one, including the chuckwagons. The current system also have the advantage of allready being in place, which is a pretty awesome advantage. The current system, besides being familiar, also keeps supply numbers smaller and therefore more accessible. It also accomplishes much of what Cherry desires by virtue of its basic structure rather than it's exceptions, which is a virtue in a system.
