It really does depends on alot of things, assuming they have max speed, it is very different fighting one with all attack than someone who uses all defense, army combination, city defense and whether they command and how they command all have a huge factor in battle outcomes.
The best thing to do is to attack oasis and fort to gain some basic understanding of battle then start with fighting lower level players, the more battle you fight the more experienced and confident you will be at gauging a fight and picking the right amount of troops to attack with.
Generally I just use overwhelming amount of army to kill off my opponent cleanly, if I find an opponent with a large amount of army that I am unsure of, I will scout them out with a cav or an inf to gain more details such as army size, city defense and army speed.
