Default Questions....

I know upkeep is determined by 15gold divided by the cost and blessed units are 30gold divided by the cost... but:

1) If a normal unit costs 40 gold... what is the upkeep??
a) upkeeps rounds downward
b) upkeeps rounds upward
c) upkeep is placed as a fraction (example=2.6)

=========================

I know Global Enchantments can be dispelled by casting dispell, another enchantment being casted or if the caster is killed.... but:

2) If another Global Enchantment when the maximum number of global enchantments exist how does it determine to cancel an existing enchantment??

I've seen Arcane Nexus fail... even when the other global enchantments were all mid level spells.

I've seen spells fail or an existing global get overwritten....even when the global list is obviously not full. What on earth causes THAT?

Someone casting the same spell the same turn perhaps.

Does anyone know... or are these questions baffling everyone ?

Do both automatically fizzle if somebody casts the spell on the same turn? Because wasn't aware the AI would ram 800+ gems into a spell. Also, nobody else had the spell up at the end of the turn, and there were empty slots, so I'm not sure what would cause that.
