Are Lvl 5 Units viable anymore?

I think Turn Back Time does not work on black dragons, but it should work on emerald dragons (if they are still in this game).

Oh yeah, inquisitors, demonologists, old rune mages were ones who could resurrect level 5s. (I don't think it worked on black dragons though).

HMMMM then this is highly viable since I can artificially keep a high amount of those guys around.

The problem is some of the level 4s have new secondary abilities and they are QUITE good.

For example: Humans gets "adapability" which raises their base stat by a bonus percentage based on how well you know the terrain! This makes Horsemen very ideal shock troopers.

Assassins reworked their "kill counter" bonus of Crossworlds to a "familiar enemy" bonus. If you keep killing undead armies, you will get a bonus to attack/defense against undead.

I'm curious if some of the level 5s have new abilities.

Furthermore, a lot of level 5s have 'strange' abilities which aren't quantifable in simple "most attack".

e.g. piercing - hitting two stacks at once, poison gas, massive aoe on everything on the screen, etc.

While the game is 'easier', I think it will be a lot more fun with different builds and money to let you do said builds.

Maybe it is time for me to pick up some Ogres and Inquisitors...
