Most efficient form to summon Trolls in big numbers?
Contact Troll seems painfully slow, while Troll´s King Court seems awfully expensive for just 17 trolls. I do not need the king, just the damned trolls! 
Any other summoning options that I have missed? |

No.
And be careful with the trolls. They cost gold for upkeep.

Re: Most efficient form to summon Trolls in big numbers?
Are you sure of upkeep for sea trolls and king? Is that because they fit the rule of thumb "summoned unit can also be recruited via gold/resources in an appropriately sited province"?

Re: Most efficient form to summon Trolls in big numbers?
Yes, that's why. There's an uncommon site with recruitable trolls ( http://dom3.servegame.com/wiki/Troll_Pit). I believe that there's one that lets you recruit Troll Kings too, but I don't recall what the name of it is off-hand. I'm fairly certain it was used in the Preponderance game.
If you ever want to be certain about a particular unit, check the wiki or Edi's database. Anything that has a gold cost listed will cost upkeep. |

Roger that. Doubt the sea king are recruitable given their gen gem capability (yet they show cost of 150...)

Join IRC and start a thread on bagpipes and oboes.

Re: Most efficient form to summon Trolls in big numbers?
Troll gold cost is a flavor thing as well. Read their descriptions and it mentions they like gold or something to the effect. So even if a troll cannot be recruited from a site, it will still have a gold upkeep.

Re: Most efficient form to summon Trolls in big numbers?
So, if Trolls have upkeep etc, what are other typical heavy units that can also serve as a wall and can be summoned in numbers without upkeep?
I think I remember some units heavy in HP that resemble a thick tree or something but cant recall their name?

Vine ogres make good walls. They're really gem efficient too with an ivy crown.
