I think your proposition is realistic but too boring for a
player. It needs to be automatic to be playable.

I've already thought that "each batiment means a continuous levy
on the city's provisioning"[1], this needs to be extended to
complex/advanced units, yes, for example a tank needs a
continuous amount of oil.
