Well, i do not think that there are less units available in WotN than in AP on the first islands. It just takes more time to finish the first islands. For example i got engineers and alchemists on the second island.
But to answer your question, "island 5" is darion (greenwort, verlorn, arlania and marshan swamp). So you will see many new units, for example my current army is composed of paladins, ice dragons, royal thorns, jarls and rune mages (rune mages are changed from CW).
