hmm then we'd loose the mannikins.. less of a problem.. but really we could just make them all regular summons, domsummons, makecreatures etc etc
there are quite alot of ways to get creatures without paying for them

I myself was kinda thinking about some orc/goblin race..where you don't need to pay for most troops since they are warlike bastards anyway wo flock to leaders to fight.. so mostly commanders to buy and then they can create their troops in a number of ways. Some spaceships would have to be bought maybe or summoned with magic. --> you could do the same thing with your race

Since you seem to prefer working on ermor above pangaea it might be best if you figure out some sort of structure for this: like which commander produces what etc etc
