Well, I've found 7+ Emerald green dragons in the Mage's tower (Facing demenion's castle, it's to the right, past the graveyard and the bridge - the same tower you're talking about) 3 times out of my 5 playthroughs. In other occasions I found Paladins and Archmagi. In this playthorugh I found 9 horsemen there and about 300 Wood Fairies (Sprites) in the building nearby, but I cannot use them because I lack numerous spells (although I have the skills).
The thing is, that in impossible, since you'll be facing strong armies, you need to plan your units carefully, especially because it is very important to do the first 100 or so battles without any losses - this will ensure enough money to re-vamp the army, buy the expensive items, etc. You need something to take the extra hits (summoned units) while you babysit your tanks and summoners. To be honest, this is my plight right now with the Paladin, since he has much less leadership than the Warrior, and it's much harder to balance power and functionality to get no-loss victories. For example, in 12 levels, I bought only 3 items - the marshal's batton, the mana belt and the gladiator sword (the one with 10 might runes), and sold all of my wanderers' spells (7 total, I was lucky with the chests in battle, especially because I chose the green dragon and had it right away), and even with the 60 no-loss battles, I was struggling to find the money for these 3 items.
This goes to show how hard impossible really is - especially in the beginning of the game. In KBTL I could get 70k gold really easy, by stealing gold, items and flags. In KBAP this is no more. Each step of the way is hard.
