Re: upkeep
if a unit has a gold cost than it will cost upkeep, if it doesn't than it won't... for example, Bandar Log and Patala can summon Kailasa's Yaksha and Yakshini mages. since they're recruitable mages for Kailasa they have a gold cost, so they will cost upkeep for Bandar Log and Patala. however, if you summon say a Bane Lord, than he has no gold cost, nobody can recruit them normally, so he won't cost any upkeep.
that's the reason why mid-late game is dominated by summoned armies instead of nationals. upkeep free, and you still need the gold for mages and infrastructure(forts+labs+temples).
