By the way, the first two units of the Barbarians are indeed very short-lived. Although many of them are produced, and their speed and attack are decent, they are not very useful until you upgrade them. With wolves, it's clear, they attack twice, but goblins, even though they move quickly, always seem to fall short by one or two squares... And upgrading them is expensive...
Well, for playing on an S map, yes, but I wouldn't upgrade them on an XL map - there's such a thing as "goblin population doubled..."
Well, you know all this yourself, so when playing as Barbarians on an S map, it's tough at the beginning, and only the fact that their heroes are very strong helps, and even a level 1 hero with an attack of 3 gives an advantage.
And in which castle, besides the Titan and Necromancer, do you focus your army on level 1 units?
For the beginning, I would use a mage hero, for example, Vey (simply because he has a ranged attack), or someone else - this somewhat replaces the need for level 1 units, and then "he" is no longer used, except for meat fodder...
