This would add a little interest to the armies. My personal opinion is that it should just be at Level 10, but not every 10 levels, otherwise long-lived troops could be almost impossible to kill. Just enough to give regular troops a bit more flavor and a reward for lasting the first few levels.
I do not think that we have to worry about long lived troops. A level 20 troops with two traits is still nothing compared to level 20 troops from an earlier build (HPs, lightning pike, etc...)
And I have never had a level 20 troop anyway. By turn 150 I have had a level 17 troop, but that's it.
Maybe the troop could pick Endurance? If the +1 HP applied to all figures in the stack, it could really boost troops that reach level 10 (or higher).
As a flavor thing, it sounds nice, but realistically, this just gives players more advantage that I don't think they really need. Unless this comes with some improvements to AI behaviors where they figure out how to treasure their units and keep them alive, I don't think it's a good idea.
