Starving is quite harsh. Do you think it is OK?

I have also seen units get diseased after starving for a single month. Never been quite sure though if it was due do extreme starvation or due to some undiscovered disease spreading site. Perhaps death scales increase the severity of extreme starvation?

While it would complicate things a bit, I do think that starvation should be relative. If a squad with a supply requirement of 20 enters a prov with only 5 supplies, they are operating on 25% rations and should be considered to be in a state of extreme starvation; diseases should be rampant in short order. Conversely, if a squad with a supply requirement of 1000 enters a prov with 980 supplies, they are operating on 98% rations. They may be considered hungry, but hardly starved to the point that diseases would start afflicting large numbers of units.
