Stealth vs Starvation?

One possible solution would be to cause starvation in sneaking units in enemy territory, but not update the display of available supplies when the owner of the province looks at it. And since the stealth units are sneaking, they get last dibs on the twigs and berries, so standing armies of the owner won't starve (normally) either.

Hmmm... I think so far this thread isn't understanding how I understand the supply mechanic. First off, its population based. If it weren't, it be reasonable to think "twig and berry" supply would be HIGHER in lower population provinces. Instead, supply is not just salvaging, but things like villages baking bread, preparing horse feed, etc. Basically, the products of industry.

So where do stealth armies fit into this equation. Not a clue. I'm pretty sure I've seen some of my stealth armies suffer stravation before, but its been a long time.

I had a single stealth commander suffer from and die of starvation when sneaking around in enemy terrain.

Commanders can't starve, ever. At least I don't remember ever seeing my commanders starve, or get diseased from it. He could have passed through a province with Inkpot End in it.

Endo is right... commanders will never starve.
