Are Lvl 5 Units viable anymore?

[namad]

I'd say below level 40 (or even more) that level 5 units are just fine, and that they can often take quite a few hits without needing to be revived, ice dragons are particularly good road blocks, and if you use them to deal a bunch of finishing blows you can keep endlessly recreating ice blocks and really gum up the works while other units apply the offense...


the real problem isn't that level 5 units are too hard to revive, it's that you can't sacrifice to gain more (at least you can't for dragons) and the game stocks so few, wotn has a TON of non-random troop recruitment options and they're all VERY small and it's quite annoying crossworlds was way more random but usually whatever you did get was quite generous, so maybe you couldn't get the exact unit you wanted, but there were plenty of diverse options with deep purchase stocks!
