Something that YOU missed is we were talking about Sea Trolls (not regular Trolls) when you jumped in. So much for the ZERO gems, since Sea Kings generate the gem they need to summon Sea Trolls. And one minus one equals ...?

About the upkeep I agree there's some, but my opinion is, and always has been, that it's negligible.

The point here is that pound per pound the Draconians don't have an upkeep and don't have a gem cost for each new individual summon.

Highly debatable. The initial 45 gems investment is still there. If you have the leader summon for 30 turns, you'll get 45 Draconians for a 45 gems investment. 1 gem/Draconian may be cheap, but it's not zero.

Wrong... upkeep does not scale proportionally to ones own income. Income and upkeep can vary depending on the nation being played and the players style of playing.

I can't understand where you're heading here. Obviously I meant 'other things being equal' here. Same player, conditions, etc. except for the map size - which BTW was your own point, not mine.
