This has been happening since 1.04 in 3 different mp games. (Haven't tried mp before)

Probably have something to do with logistics being one turn behind so turn 1 have no log and conventional units need logistics and some time to recover readiness, while the militia are always started with full resources and readiness when they are created.

We were playing with 1 or 3 zones start, 1|6 armies (1|2 per zone) and tech level 4|5

Playing w/current version 1.05, Single player, Siwa class planet, Beginner level, 3 zone start, 2 Armies per zone, tech level 5. I've never had starving troops on the first turn of game play on previous versions.

Thats the problem, you're playing SINGLE PLAYER, we had only problems playing multiplayer by PBEM

What does talking about it in general Discussions archieve?

You'd said you were capable to recreate it? Then you can post instruction how you deed it into technical issues sub-forum as it's a definitely bug.

If you can't reproduce it then it will be very hard to find & fix.
