The baseline calculations for supply lines have been rebalanced. While cutting an enemy's supply path remains incredibly punishing, the passive income generated from well-maintained supply routes is now harder to maximize without dedicated area overseers. Smarter Requisition Suggestions

Managing a vast empire is now more intuitive with several quality-of-life adjustments:

Once those run out, the unit disbands—a disaster in enemy territory. The ability to form a "Convoy" (linking units together to share supplies) is the difference between a successful northern expedition and a tragic retreat.
