Seems expensive!

Yeah - too expensive to be really worth it, IMO. Might be useful if you badly need a certain unit type that isn't available anywhere for some specific individual battle, but at least for me, the amount of trophies required is too high for using this method to regularly reinforce a stack. Not to mention that you can't have any other regalia item equipped if you want to keep accumulating trophies.

I think it would be better if you only needed trophies for raising the level of upgradable troops and opening other races for upgrading, and the upgrades themselves were paid entirely in gold. That way, you could keep the patent equipped until you've raised troop level to the maximum and "unlocked" the races you might want to upgrade (at least on Normal difficulty, it's taken me quite a bit of time to get that far, even with the patent equipped from day 1) and then use the regalia slot for something else.
