I disagree completely with this, in small agressive games resources are better spent in more direct ways then clam hoarding, especially if you are in a war.
Oh hey I said it would be harder to clamhoard for the reasons you mention, but if you can make it out of the dogfight intact it will win you the game, so it seems like a good plan to me!
And if I save _all_ my gold by not buying troops, thus not having to pay upkeep on them, it will win me the game if I can make it out of the dogfight alive.

And when boxing, if a fighter can Last through the first 8 rounds without ever swinging at his opponent, he'll be able to win the fight in the 9th round because his opponent will be tired while he's fresh.

You go ahead and invest as much as you can in clams while in wars on small maps; as you say, if you survive you'll be in good position, but I expect your opponents will be eating your lunch.
