I disagree. The main value of a strong early combat pretender isn't rushing to an opponents castle, but the increased expansion and thus _exponentially_ increased income.
This benefit is seen on any sized map, and IMHO is actually greater on a larger map, where the exponential growth can act for a longer time.
Plus early conflict is often a bad idea, as it leaves you vulnerable to a bystander who instead spent his time picking up independent provinces.
