These produce, store and distribute reserves. Therefore, sooner or later, all forces should return to an allied settlement to resupply.įorces can only supplied as long as there are actually reserves in the regional settlement. Supplies can also be gained from defeated enemy forces, though this of course is a more risky method of acquisition. Supply gain and loss is influenced by many factors such as a force's diplomatic relationship with the local settlement, stances, seasons, traits, etc. If supplies get too low, soldiers will be tired and unhappy and might even desert or rebel. This poses no problem when forces are garrisoned, however, when they leave the settlement they will have to rely on supply lines and their environment.
To make up for this, supplies can be sourced from the local settlement. Each unit, including garrisons, usually consumes one supply unit per turn. Forces need supplies to function properly.
