Wendingo, you'll find when you start wars with other humans, and not Indies, that soon your troops will be slaughtered and become swordfodder to cover big monsters.

Only if I field them as fodder, which is not usually the case.

I guess our MP experiences differ, I have yet to face a 'big moster' that couldn't be killed. And when it comes to duelling, the right combination of mages+troops+SCs will beat lone/Groups of SCs any day.
