The ability to pay spice to double a troop strength benefits those powers with the better access to Spice. In my perspective, this weakens the Fremen Faction since Empire and Guild will be getting more spice from bidding and increased revenue from bigger shipments.I propose that spice used to "feed troops" will eliminate any survivors by the victor on a one-for-one basis (call it addiction sickness). With the Fremen revival bumped to Five (still only 3 free), this both limits the power afforded to wealthy factions and gives the Fremen a combat bump.
As an aside, I support dropping the two faction limit in strongholds because it is difficult to rationalize and gives protection to strongholds that simply lengthen the game.
