Not always. I played 5 times and only on 1 found 37 red dragons on a lair (cant remember if it was on nemeless island or reha). The rest, i only found about 10, 15 and something like that. The problem is not dragon, cuz i barely use em, the problem is for example, cyclops. At level 51, u can only carry 27 cyclops (being a warrior witn 38900 ls), but on reha u only get about 20 and on montero u only get about 10. Same for other units (like trolls, i never got more than 20 on the entire game). But it is not that hard to keep level 5 units alive, just avoid the worst enemies against em, for example shamans are the worst enemy u can encounter if u have cyclops, giants. Shamans will always target your cyclops or giants, and u will lose almost half of your troop with the dam axes. Of course, if u manage to kill shamans fast, u can avoid to lose more than 1 or 2 level 5. Evil beholders will target level 5 creatures too, but if u cast divine armour (or something like that, cuz stone skin doesnt work on non physical atacks) on a level 5 creatures, they will not be attacked anymore. That on hard, i never tried yet the impossible difficult level (i am a bit tired right now of ap -.-). The only resurrect spell u can cast is sacrifice, but u dont need to have it on the higher level, just 2 (in ma case cuz i was a paladin, but i suposse u have it already on level 3).
