Title: Implicit provisions for troop units
Summary: Now that there are no caravans, troops need a way to spend short amounts of time in a starving region without starving themselves.
Details: Units don't travel without some food, but nobles don't need to micromanage it, they have people for that. Any unit can reside in a starving region for a full day before starvation has any effect. If a unit has carts, make it 2 days, since they would have brought extra provisions. Staying a turn in a non-starving region replenishes your supplies, but only if you are stationary at the turn change.
Benefits: Units will no longer start starving on their first turn in a starving region – a very unrealistic thing. But it doesn't delay starvation so long as to make it a non-issue. This shouldn't take much code to implement, either (pseudocode):
Possible Exploits: Can't think of any.

Code Select
at turn change:
if unit is stationary and region is not starving:
if unit has at least one cart:
unit.provisions = 4
else:
unit.provisions = 2
if region is starving:
unit.provisions -= 1
if unit.provisions <= 0
starve
