Default Upkeep costs...

I may be completely missing the boat here, but where do I find upkeep costs? Is it part of the costs to build a particular unit?

I know this is a bigtime newb questions but after hunting around, I can't find anything.

A quick SEARCH for "upkeep" would have found threads answering this. Upkeep is 1/15 the original cost of a unit in GP, per month. Sacred units only cost 1/30 instead of 1/15.

Arryn,

Thanks for the response, and I recall seeing this somewhere now that you mention it.

And yes, I could've searched the forums, but sometimes that's like looking for a needle in a haystack. Several times I've searched for info only to pour over information not pertinent to the subject matter.

But thank you much for your response. Believe me, I search for most information, but this one was eluding me.

from this forum:

Kristoffer O:
Upkeep is based on the gold cost of a unit.
1/15 of the initial cost is paid every month.Sacred units cost 1/30.
"So a 10gp-unit costs me .. 0,667gp or 1 gp upkeep?"
0,667 gp

Most summoned creatures cost nothing, but there are some exceptions. Trolls (and sea trolls) are summonable, but can also be bought at some special sites. They have a cost of 60 gold (trolls likes gold) giving them an upkeep of 3 gold each.
