    Default Army Upkeep

    I have heard something strange these days. Every unit who has militia somewhere in its name has free army upkeeps? I didn't know that is it true? Or do other units also have free upkeeps ?

    The size of your city determines the amount of free upkeep militia units you have (which is specified by wall upgrades). Castles do not have free upkeep militia. I think the maximum is 5 free upkeep militia units with the largest wall/city. You can only benefit from this when the militia units are garrisoned. Once you take them out on a march, you pay.

    Spartan,

    Would you mind listing the max number of militia for each wall size please? I don't recall seeing it in the manual or strategy guide, and it would be helpful indeed to know.

    Thanks.

    You see it at the description of the city wall upgrade
    Maximum is 6 for a metropolis
    You ask for steak, I bring you fish. You say that you think steak is better than fish. I say that fish is much more popular than steak so obviously it's better. You say that no matter how good the fish is it can't be better at being steak than the actual steak we used to serve. I say that's just your perception and you're entitled to it but you should accept that fish is the future and that's good. You begin to say something but I stab you in the eye with a fork and run into the kitchen.

    You'd have to wait 8 hours for me to do so as I'm at work.

    Just look at the building descriptions in the game. If you want to see a breakdown, pull up the ingame tech tree/database, right click on the building and it will show you the details.

    So this isn't for all units only for militia? If my other units are garrisoned i still have to pay?

    On high level castles if you upgrade the Jousting Grounds you will get free upkeep on 1 unit, however I haven't been able to figure out if it works or not yet.(The Unit card didn't change color when you move it into the castle)
