I've been HMA armies with just Iron Age Balista so it is possible.
Being plundered is not such a big deal really each person can only do it to you once in a 24 hour period. If you get yourself a decent defensive army most attackers will give up after a while if they lose their army- plundering is rarely worth the cost to replace the troops.
You don't need that much activity to progress just a little bit of smarts. Also if you would rather have inactive players to polish than activity ones to give you a challenge then maybe this isn't the best game for you.
