True for well-equipped troops, though Shamblers only require 1 resource, so if you have the gold, they are great instant armies in a reasonable province with them, and spearmen are also fast cannon fodder, if you don't have or want to spend the gold on Shamblers.

Talk about deep patrol. No possibility of retreat pretty much the whole time.

Why not? No following troops to protect the provinces behind you from being retaken?

... These days the Nataraja may be even better. 4 Ice Swords = Defence 30 or so in just a few rounds from the beginning. 4 Attacks too.
How about 4 Swords of Swiftness for 8 attacks? Add boots of speed... Name your pretender Slice'N'Dice, or Benihana. You might need a lot of reinvigoration to not exhaust yourself, though.

For a Nataraja I find that a Wraith Sword, Charcoal Shield, and Faithful, make a good combo.

The sword gets you extra health plus reinvigoration.

If you are facing undead (wraith sword not effective) or are paralyzed the shield can still win you the day.

Faithful gets you luck, which is always good, and it's nice to squeeze it out of a weapon slot.
