Summer sword supply bonus, hmm..

If the Supply Usage = -2, then it's probably a bug.

i'm not clear whether the supply bonus of an item on a stealthy unit really takes effect. were the swords on scouts?

The supply bonus definitely still works for stealthy units - I put wine bags on scouts constantly.

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 .
