It already is (and has always been).

Valid point.

This possibility is not dependent on an "upkeep page". It is dependent on us adding stats and costs and implementation of gem upkeep. It has been given some thoughts, but no desicions has been made. We didn't want it when we first made the game. I'm not entirely sure why, but I believe we had some good reasons. One I do remember was that we wanted a distinction in the nature of summoned and recruited units. The current system makes for more summons in the late game.
