is there a way to see the upkeep of a specific unit?

There is no way to see it numerically within the game for an individual unit. For units that you purchase, the upkeep is 1/15 of their purchase price, or 1/30 if it is a sacred unit. For summoned units, their upkeep is listed in the SCQR.

Not unless you happen to know what his gold cost, which, in the case of summoned units, could be unstated, is: The upkeep of a unit is equal to his gold cost / 15. If the unit is sacred, upkeep is half of that.

i think it would be a good idea to make all summons upkeepfree .
it's a severe reason against the trolls/sea trolls ihmo .
only other's are some crossbreeds and the hawks but their upkeep is quite low .
+ the spawning hybrids should be upkeepfree too

Trolls/Sea Trolls that have a liability? OMG! That shouldn't be!

While there are plenty of people who seem to think the cost is not worth the effect on Trolls or Sea Trolls, thare are another Category of people who think that with their upkeep they disallow certain strategies (ever notice how well Trolls rebuild castle walls?) and make you take a posture if you wish to use them (offensive). While it may be a little harsh it's still managable.

But they have lots of liabilities, already! I mean, they eat all the sticks, they don't smell that good, and quite frankly, when they are around, they scare the sheep.

The same can be said for you! And I'm sure you cost a bit more than 4gold a month to upkeep.

In all seriousness, Sea Trolls/Trolls are fine upkeepwise. There has to be a reason why you wouldn't use them every, single time. And the reason is that they require you to be on the offensive and/or in active attempt to destroy them by some means.

If you can't tell, I like Trolls of any flavoritity and use them often

Personally I am terrified of trolls.

It would be nice if there was a list available where gamers could see the upkeep of all summoned units.
Or at least a list of which ones have zero upkeep.

There *IS* one. Zen had a big list somewhere. You can probably get it from Arryn's server whose name eludes me at the moment. Or somewhere.
