Supplies - Sending an army that will not starve ?

You can figure out supply from the size of the units. I believe that a normal unit takes up 1 supply by its lonesome. Units with horses, and thus a bigger size unit, take up proportionally more supplies. The same thing is true for elephants, a size 6 unit notorious for creating supply problems.

IIRC, Unless it produces supply, has need not eat or any other random effects, a unit eats (size-1) supplies. (size 1 units still need 1 supply) So there's no need to be vague about supply consumption.

Approximating how much supply you need is also not that complicated. You can see how much units a commander leads because it is written in the Army Setup screen, and most of the time you will only have small variation in sizes of units, so its fairly easy (though a bit annoying) to use a calculator and make a quick calculation.
