If you're playing in Russia, or other cold places, more quantity and less quality are a necessity. When winter hits, do you really want your crack 30,000 man army to wither away from attrition, and not be able to replace it? In places further west (in Europe) more quality can be much more helpful, but in the east it can lead to your defeat.

Well, that's one thing. Strategy can either make you predictable, or give you an edge. If you go with the "charge with large cav force then follow up with infantry and artillery, then swiftly retreat" 'strategy' every time, then you'll end up being defeated once your opponent discovers this. If you wield your army in a certain way that gives you an advantage in one important area, but know how to escape or avoid defeat in other areas which you may be left weakened, then that can be a huge advantage.

Just sending 200,000 cavalry in one army at once into the mountains.

I disagree here. Human player will help you / not help you regardless of any alliances. IMHO it is much more important to have computer allies.

They have the advantage of making human players think twice before they attack.

Exactly. The other humans are either with you or against you (usually, you know when you start the game what the case is ).
