Heh. KotS and Sea Trolls have roughly the same upkeep, 'cept you have to pay a hefty initial gold cost for the former. The main difference is you don't have to invest on heavy blessings with the latter, which sort of come with their own builtin Nature-9 blessing (with increased poison resistance BTW). They just lack the morale and berserking, but that's nothing a good Touch of Madness won't fix.
