None of my characters died. Before the last location, my party started experiencing 'cholera', but nothing happened. A kept finding lucky squirrels everywhere. We did have to eat an oxen, but that filled our food rations and we still had 11 oxen left over endgame. I had max supplies almost the entire game without need for trade or hunting. I started out as banker if that makes a difference. Too easy.
This is pretty awesome. Loses it's value over time though since it's only purely for survival purposes. I played about 10 rounds and got to about wave 14 with one of the weaker, more agile planes. Definitely fun, and I can't wait for the multiplayer version to come out! :D
