Hired troops are too weak to be of great use in bigger battles. I've seen single players in godmith destroying hundreds of troops without getting more than a scratch. I've had battles where my own units blocked any sight from me so that I couldn't see the enemy. Troops are useful to guard something and to help you against other NPCs but against players they are not very good.
