Enter Site to Summon.....

I just wish I had another blood mage! Right now only my pretender has blood magic. And he's a sage. My nation is ulmand needs his research ability.

Are we talking real devils here, or mostly those little imps? Any chance of a highly powerful one? I hope it isn't influenced by luck (though that would be very balancing) because I have unluck 3!

Some summons do actually have upkeep, I think; not all. Undead generally don't, but I think trolls -- at least Sea Trolls, and probably the others -- do.

Edit: Addendum. The devils you'll get are the basic devils; larger than imps, they fly, stronger than your normal human, they radiate fire and all that, and wield pitchforks. They're not exactly awe-inspiring, but they're nice to have. Luck won't matter, it's a guaranteed summons so long as you have a blood mage entering the site.

How can you check for a unit's upkeep?

As far as I know, you can't yet. I only realized that troll summons might have upkeep when in a Dom I game my upkeep jumped up in response to summons, even when I'd not recruited any additional "normal" troops.

Trolls likes gold. That is common knowledge.

Magical beings and undead do not cost upkeep IIRC. There is currently no way to tell, but I believe that trolls (ans seatrolls) are the only ones.

Things that you can buy in sites do cost upkeep as upkeep is 1/15 of their initial cost.

Things that you summon by entering a site costs 0.

Trolls, Sea trolls, draconians, black hawks, cross breeding critters require upkeep, do not remember any others right now.
