Just played a run to get back into the game after a longer break and did pretty well untill my char (level 21) finally managed to solve my carrying capacity issues. Short time later he starved to death on COC level 5 while ascending to darkforge.

I suggest to implement some kind of popup message before the char starves to death, simply because I think that a character should be extremely aware of the torturing hunger that he feels at that point... and well, for me as a player this kind of death is extremely frustrating ;) It's no problem while the strength is still low by the way, just because you lose the ability to move when the hunger drains your stats.
