RQ2 called the third stage "tailed priests" which in RQ3 were called Nobles. The fourth stage were called "full priests" in RQ2 and Rulers in RQ3.

No, I don't. I assumed that the number of fourth stage dragonewts was neglible compared to the dragonewt population as a whole. If one counter was composed of full priests then it would be much stronger than the other two - which isn't the case from the Dragon Pass order of Battle.
The RQ3 rulebook states there are only several Rulers in a townsized cluster which makes less than 50 rulers for all of the dragonewt towns plus a further twenty or thirty rulers in the Dragon's Eye itself. Since the Dragon Pass units consist of roughly a thousand strong each, the full priests are neglible in DP terms - I suppose they lead the various units and act as the Inhuman King's Bodyguard.

No, it isn't. Firstly some terrestial carnivores such as lions only eat about once a week (but gorge themselves in that meal) so Beaked 'newts need not eat every day.
Secondly, 'newts as intelligent creatures can gather food for others so no everybody has to leave the town boundary to eat.
