LOL.. well I'll ask one (Orlanth has ten thousand names you know)

What determines how much each unit needs per turn in upkeep? Can you see this anywhere in the game?

also -

The game keeps track of the "home garrison" province of every unit.. any effect to this?

The upkeep is one tenth of the purchase cost. This is halved if the unit is sacred.

I can't find it in the manual, so it may have changed, but upkeep was commonly said to be 1/15th of cost in Dominions 1. Thus - are you sure of this?

Also: Unholy units (like Ermor's unholy indy priests) get 1/2 upkeep too, though they are not listed as scared. Possibly a bug. But very important for gold-hungry Ermor.

Upkeep seems to be halved also for unholy priests of ermor, but I'm not certain of this.

No, I'm not sure.
