Are heavy bless strategies the best ones ?

[Folket]

I find that heavy blesses are the best against the computer as the AI do not know how to counter. In large MP games I have seen bless strats fail more often then not. But then large Mp games are 60% diplomacy and 40% gameplay.

At the moment I'm strong in the Undertow game with a E3 wyrm. The other strong Pretender is Shinuyama, I do not know what he has but he does not use sacred troops.

I find that any strat will work if it allows you to exp fast (getting 2-3 provinces a turn before turn 10) in the beginning and allow you a broad spectrum of magic later on.
