You are not going to get a game with nations perfectly balanced for both the long & short term. Some nations are better short term & some long term, same with designs.

I asked you specific question that you haven't answered - you were refering to some other strategies that were as effective/abusive as clam hoarding. Can you name any?

Check this one for example for another 'economic strategy':

Others with a similar focus: Anything blood-slave related or concerning hoarding the Elemental kings/queens that produce free (and good!) troops-> It does not feed on itself as gem generators+ alchemy, but the troops provide gems+coin by giving you the provinces of your enemies.

In the end, you should not forget that the game is won & lost by winning & losing battles. The economy is not everything.
