Re: Stealth vs Starvation?
Sneaking units can never starve in enemy territory. The starvation they have encountered is a result of them attacking (the turn after they attack the starvation check occurs as they are in what is now their province). So, as long as they sneak into one of your provinces every other turn, they will never get diseased.
EDIT: It is difficult to tell for sure, but in general the starvation mechanics do often seem to operate as jimkehn describes.

Re: Stealth vs Starvation?
Sneaking units can't starve? That sounds like a bug to me. I can't see any thematic reason for it.

Because then they wouldn't be stealthy.
Feeding yourself without being noticed must be part of the stealthy skillset. Nuts, berries, insects, etc. Think lunatic survivalists. |

Re: Stealth vs Starvation?
Dang, if quantum_mechanic is right, I'll have to rethink my whole "scorched earth" strategy, at least versus the sneakers...

Re: Stealth vs Starvation?
It still seems like a bug. Checking their hunger against the base supplies of the province wouldn't give them away but would stop large armies passing through the Carrion Woods, where even the plants are undead.

Actually, I think it *SHOULD* give them away! If you truly want to sneak an army through you should have to bring food as the locals would note the missing food. |

However, that'd also mean that if your enemy was using stealth armies against you, the best way to fight them would be to check all of your provinces every turn, and see how much supplies are used. EVERY TURN!
Doing something very boring and very unfun shouldn't give benefits that can't be gotten other ways. |
