That is a truly lame reason for making summoned trolls cost upkeep. The summoned ones ought to be free, and they could make the recruitable ones cost upkeep or not. I suppose this might be a tricky programming task, and that is perhaps why the developers took the easy way out on this.

Shouldn't even be tricky to program - just like there are already multiple "flavors" of militia, each with its own unit type, there could be 2 separate unit IDs for water and earth trolls - recruitable ones could then cost upkeep, summoned ones be free, and otherwise they could be identical to one another.
