I was complaining that they were too cheap, actually. Didn't realize the king was 150 unmodded as well. And 30 gold for a vanilla troll (under the CB mod) is kind of crazy.

yeah, but think of the upkeep. summoned trolls have no upkeep, but when you buy them in enough numbers to be effective, you'll end up in the poor house.

summoned trolls do have upkeep

Wish · #4 February 13th, 2006, 08:49 PM

really. thought all summons where free.

That's why they changed them in CB, to drop the upkeep a bit and make 'em a bit more attractive as a summon. (or so I surmise).

Trolls you recruit are the same ones you summon. Because they are exactly the same, and the recruit cost and upkeep are variables of the UNIT, not of the recruited province/site/summon spell, ALL trolls have the exact same upkeep.

Sea Trolls might be free. If they aren't used, no recruit (and thus upkeep) cost would have to be set.

Sea trolls are also recruitable at some special sites, so they're also not free. Dunno about Sea kings.

Sea Trolls are not free, at least not in the base game
