Problem with upkeep

Post by UncleZeiv »

Hi there! Sorry if this has been discussed before (I did a quick search through the forum but I couldn't find anything about it), but it seems that there is an help/game mismatch about money and upkeep.
The help doesn't mention that you earn two pieces of gold anyway at the beginning of a turn, and says that units you begin the level with never pay an upkeep, which doesn't seem to be true: some scenarios in httt recall some unit for you from the previous without asking, and they seem to charge an upkeep on those.
Maybe I am completely wrong, just tell me... thank you :)

You are correct. Your base income is usually 2. And campaign heroes that get recalled sometimes cost upkeep. You don't have much choice about recalling them, of course. We probably should add something about the base income to the help files.

Some units are completely free: those that are created for you like the mage on the Isle of Anduin or the horseman in Blackwater Port. They will never cost upkeep, but you have to pay to recall them.

When a unit is recalled for you at the start of the scenario, that's a free recall (saves you 20 gold), but you now have to pay whatever his upkeep is. Sometimes that's free (for the units described above) or else it's just normal upkeep.

Ok, so now everything is clear to me, but the online help needs to be fixed definitely :)
