Best and worst units per level

Only arrow-based ranged attacks, IIRC, and it's 70% less. So they take less damage from archers (both human and skelli), hunters, and elves, and possibly more, not sure if it applies to other physical damage shooters as well. I know for sure that magic-based shooters do full damage.

As for the actual question of this thread, I don't really see the point of it. It's not like you are forced to only use one unit from each level in your army. I usually end up with a lower level army since I tend to use the elven army, more or less. Anyways, I guess these are my picks:

Level 1: Sprites>Lake Fairies>everything else
Level 2: Dryads as support in the late game
Level 3: Inquisitors, Royal snakes, Elves
Level 4: Evil beholders, cannoneers, Hunters (the best ranged troop by far, cause unlike certain other units they still own without dragon arrows, allowing you to cast a different spell)
Level 5: Giants are decent, all the dragons are very powerful, but I don't really use level 5 units very often.
