now dragons can often hit many units at once, but sometimes you'd rather deal 3000 damage to one enemy stack, than 1000 damage to 3 enemy stacks. really it all just depends, I'd say dragons are really powerful and freaking cool and awesome, but also reasonably balanced in the game.

I don't think that thorn hunters, berserkers, or bears light things on fire doing 10% of the stacks health in damage each turn for three turns. Nor do they hit 2 to 4 stacks in an attack. They also tend to not deal any damage, or half damage, on the first turn.
Further, dragons deal more damage over the course of a fight do to still being at full stack strength. And, being level 5, are immune to many negative effects like sheep. And by having an all level 5 army, you can leverage spells like Fear that make your troops unattackable.
