[balance, exploit .85] Trained unit upgrade costs

from Elemental Forums

Love that trained units can have their unit count upgraded as new techs become available. However, there is a problem: it only costs 30 gold per member. What if you are upgrading a super unit decked out in Champion's gear? Only 30 gold!

So I can pay the crystal/metal cost for a super unit of 3 members, then pay just 90 gold to upgrade them to a company of 6. And I don't have to pay any crystal or metal!

Adding resource cost to the upgrade cost would fix this.

SIDE NOTE: Why can't we upgrade champion's equipment the same way? I like paying gold for equipment as an option, but why not let the blacksmith make armor for my sovereign if we have the metal? Why require purchase?

It's beyond my understanding why you can bring extra members to the unit without having to provide them with the crystal/horses/metal they require. In my opinion it even does not need explanation about why it shoudn't be the way it is now.
