You can only deploy 8 units in a battle, which is enough imo. No need for more, would take much more time and resources to create an army(not to mention 2 or 3).
I think when the game goes live you will also start to lose troops from the defending army as well. If you don't have a defending army then apart from the basic 2 spear men units (auto defence units) then you'd probably lose a lot of coin, supplies or goods when attacked
This is supposition on my part I have no idea if such a thing will be possible but if not then why have a box where you can put a defending army in the troop management.
So therefore maintaining an attacking and defending army both of 8 units will be fairly sapping on troop production as it is, so bigger armies would stunt city growth and development.
