My experience is that the only way to get "free" status troops is to use
your holy symbol mana.

I've trained status troops without symbols:
  ==> mana cost as shown in rules.

I've trained status troops with symbols:
  ==> mana cost = 0 if mana cost is less than symbol mana.
  ==> mana cost = (#of soldiers * soldier mana cost) - free symbol mana
      (if mana cost is greater than free symbol mana)
      i.e.  ToD priest w/40 free mana from symbols trains 50 Netherworld
	    soldiers:  Actual cost = 10 mana.

Hope this helps,
Dale
