Heh try to play a blitz on a small map against uber bless Helheim, Niefelheim, Mitgard etc. with a nation without a proper bless strategy. In most of the cases you won't even reach research lvl3.

I'm sorry, but that's an absurd exaggeration. There is no way that the forces those nations could gather on a 10 province per player map would be able to capture the C'tissian castle by turn 8. This is especially true with the imprisoned pretender necessary for a dual bless strategy.

Recent blitzes had quite a few pre turn 10 eliminations with bless rushes.
Vanheim + Helheim have a good chance at killing 1 player before turn 10 and then they can use their gold advantage to also use their excellent mages + slow down the remaining players with raiding.
Niefelheim's giants and jarls are strong enough to have a good chance to kill any SC.
And Mictlan and TC EA are quite scary too with their bless hordes.
Those nations might really be a little too good for blitzes.
