====== Supply Size & Gluttony ======

{{:misc:gui:supplyusage.png?nolink }} The [[Size]] of a unit determines how many [[Supplies]] they consume each turn. In previous games, this was internally known as **Supply Size**. 

To see a unit's supply usage, one can simply click on "Size" on their stat sheet. For a quick and click-less calculation, though:
  * Take their Size.
  * If their Size is greater than 1, subtract 1.
  * {{:abilities:gluttony.png?15&nolink}} If they're a **Glutton**, **add their amount of Gluttony**. (They eat much more than similar beings.)
  * Divide the result by 2.
  * {{:abilities:animal.png?15&nolink}} If they're an [[Animal]], divide the result by 2 again.
  * Round the result up to this point **down** to the nearest **0.5** (0.75 becomes 0.5, for instance, and 0.25 becomes zero).
  * If the result up to this point is less than zero, make it zero.
  * {{:abilities:supply_bonus.png?15&nolink}} If they have a **Supply Bonus**, subtract it from their supply usage. (They give into the larder.)

Yes, the manual is wrong about this. You're not crazy. It's right about Animals eating less, however. For a non-Animal without any Gluttony, here's how Supply usage relates to size:

^  Size  ^  1  ^  2  ^  3  ^  4  ^  5  ^  6  ^  7  ^  8  ^  9  ^  10  ^
|  Usage  |  0.5  |  0.5  |  1  |  1.5  |  2  |  2.5  |  3  |  3.5  |  4  |  4.5  | 

{{:abilities:gluttony.png?nolink }} A **Glutton** who {{:abilities:need_not_eat.png?15&nolink}} [[need-not-eat|Needs not Eat]] **will still eat**; they just won't get [[Afflictions|Diseased]] from [[Starving]]. For those with the "Need not Eat" trait and //not// the Gluttony trait, their supply usage before their [[Supply Bonus]] is zero.
