No offence, but that argument is fatally flawed. A player who attacks with lots of small armies can very quickly strip another that is using only 1 or 2 big ones from gem and gold income, effectively knocking him out.
If my enemy cannot anticipate my assault, I will attack with very many armies that are as small and cheap as possible and that can still take out expected province defence and a little more. These armies should preferably be flying, or use wind ride/whatever so you can take as many provinces as possible from the enemy in the first blow so he will be poorer when he will counterattack and so that it will take him very many turns to reach the front. Only after you already have the land go for the armies.
