That's not what I've been writing... my point is that trolls have an upkeep which doesn't match their true value.

Lets say I give you 100 Trolls during the start of a game... and I start with 100 Vine Ogres. I didn't even include the bonus I could get from the vine crown. Now keep in mind your Trolls are LEVEL_6 Conjuration and mine are only Level_3. If you eventually meet on day 10 for battle... you have spent almost $4000 gold on upkeep(3 died). I had an extra $4000 gold to spend on well you name it. Then your 97 Trolls fight my 97 Vine Ogres... you're trolls will almost always lose because the trolls eventually retreat and/or the $4000 gold allowed me to arrive with 5 times as many commanders you had thus more spells helping me and hurting your army.
