Actually, it would make great sense to have the summoned troops cost 1/15 of the initial gem cost per turn. That way, it matches the troops. And when you run out of the proper gems, they desert just like troops!
You would see more troops being built for sure.

yeah i say that too panther and esben
actually dominions is the only game i know where you pay upkeep for some things while you pay no upkeep for other things .
have you ever played age of wonders 2 shadow magic cainehill ?
i played it seriously for about 1/2 year and enjoyed it .
the only problem is that you have only about 200 units and 200 spells and know all too quick .
but it was really well balanced .
and with each patch the developers made much fine tuning.
as with starcraft.
if you say small developers can't do that i point at paradox entertainment .
they make awesome patches !
i just wonder why you are so reluctant against small changes cainehill where the majority agrees that they would strengthen the dominion experience even more .
esben agreed to me , panther agreed , cohen will agree .
something like 1/10 gem upkeep of summon cost on scs and 1/50 on summons would make national troops more useful and balance it at least a bit .
to be at least somehow competetive against mages national troops would need to have less upkeep then mages too .
until turn 30 normal upkeep . turn 30-60 halfed upkeep .
turn 60 - end 1/4 upkeep for normal national troops .
this way it would then be e.g. about 12 knights vs 1 mage which would the choice not make the absolute nobrainer between mage + knight as it was before .
and with limiting the use of summons a bit too it would be all more balanced .
the aow / MoM approach here is just more righteous .
