Thing is, later on in the game, you won't NEED to summon troops, you can just buy them. The hardest point in the game is generally around level 15, when you are trying to bust your way into Verona and the fertile lands beyond.
You will run out of Royal thorns, since they are likely only available in Debir (2 to 5) and your best unit is likely a cyclops. Maybe archmages, inquisitors, paladins or Royal Snakes. But that stops cutting it against the tougher fights, and Rusty and Verona are a lot harder than the first 3.
Getting some really nice troops to help you get onto these islands, which opens up huge numbers of stores and items, and money, is really important!
(My current no loss game, I got dryads early from a scroll. I beat some invincible stacks to unlock Verona and Elon using them).
