Supplies is a technology in Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition that can be researched at the Barracks once the Feudal Age is reached. Once researched, it decreases the food cost of the Militia line units by 15.
With the introduction of Supplies, Tracking was removed from the game, and Supplies took its place as the Feudal Age Barracks technology. Note that Tracking functionally remains in the game and its effect (+2 Line of Sight for all infantry) is automatically granted once the Feudal Age is reached.
Since Supplies costs 150 food, this technology starts to pay out food-wise if more than 10 Militia line units are trained after researching it.
Despite lacking access to Supplies, the Goths have the cheapest Militia line in the game due to their civilization bonus that lowers the cost of infantry by 20%/25%/30%/35% in Dark/Feudal/Castle/Imperial Age.
