Is this an exploit?

[Zaknafien]

a general by himself could not bring supplies without the logistical and administrative means to do so, plus the hordes of hired help in drovers, wagoneers, etc.

So far the only context in which I used it was as Carthage besieging Syracuse. That 2 year siege is tough. The general came by ship, so I guess I could say that the fleet brought the supplies.

To a certain extent that's historical, and gives fleets a logistical function, which they kind of should have.

I agree with the above posters that it goes against the reasoning behind the logistics trait system. It is the price of war and that is the only way to reasonably represent the logistical problems involved with a long siege or campaigning through enemy land with little succor from the locals. I guess it is up to you weather you do it or not but it defeats the purpose of the trait. To me it is akin to cheating.
