I'm assuming the supply point is meant to simulate the unit needing
food? Then losing one per round would be more realistic. Even though
maps most often last longer than 20 rounds, individual units rarely if
ever do, so it shouldn't be a issue. In fact, it might be too much
since you would then almost never need to resupply units. I guess it
would also be more interesting if different units lose food at
different rates, for example cavalry losing it faster since they need
to feed the mount and the rider. Maybe make it so the food producing
building can send supplies to the units directly without passing
through your city first; that way you could build it further out to
resupply them more easily. I was also thinking, instead of having the
city able to summon buildings, rather create worker units able to
build the structures anywhere. They could maybe summon a construction
site or something similar, which would turn into the building after a
certain number of rounds or after receiving enough supplies, or both.
Then would, stone, metal or which ever similar resources you include
could be used for building construction.

The plan was to have various structures create resources. These different
resources, wood, metal and food, would be sent to the city, where it would
create supply wagons to send the generic supply to other units.
My thought was that a unit with a supply point would then need to expend
that
point. Is it better to have that supply get subtracted every round, or is
it
better to have that supply point used when an attack is made?
I was thinking units would start with 20 supplies.
Any thoughts?
The only real concern about supplies in a general sense is that some maps
wil
feature short skirmishes that might last longer then twenty rounds, but
that
would mean everyone had to have a supply wagon on hand regardless. This
seems
clunky to me, but more short maps were asked for, so this is a concern.
Especially when it comes to the boats. I do plan on some units having
forage
so they don't need supply wagons, but the majority wont.
I don't know. I just need some input on this if anyone has the time.
