Draconians can be summoned individually and for ZERO gems... by the leader of the Draconians.
Yes, and to get that leader you need to summon the whole pack first. Exactly what I said.

Why have a Troll King spend an earth gem every turn for a new Troll which has 4 upkeep.... when a Draconian leader can get a new Draconian for free which has ZERO upkeep.
So if you lack air gems but have 180 earth you'll prefer to alchemize them to 90 astral then to 45 air so you can summon Draconians for free?

Quote:
4 upkeep is not much for small maps... but for the XL maps I play the 4 upkeep for the armies I need are murder.
Nonsense. Army sizes tend to scale proportionnally to empires sizes, and thus your upkeep tend to scale proportionally to your income. If you have problems on large maps, it's either due to your inefficiency in dealing with large empires, or to your own decision to sacrifice efficiency to cut the micromanagement down. Anyway it's certainly not due to a design flaw in the game.
