Scavenger (X)

When a Troop with Scavenger defeats an enemy Troop during a Charge, this Troop's own Provision cost is reduced by X.

Rules

• The trigger is defeating an enemy Troop during a Charge.
• The reduction applies to this Troop's Provision cost — not to your next deployment, and not to your army as a whole.
• The reduction persists while the Troop remains on the battlefield, lowering what you owe for it every Attrition Phase.
• A Provision cost cannot be reduced below 0.

Notes

A Scavenger that survives long enough eventually feeds itself off the battlefield — the more it kills, the less it costs to keep. That makes Scavenger Troops excellent front-liners in a long grind, where paying for your army every single turn is the real constraint.
