You didn't list what I consider the most important.

Planning.

Nothing is more important than having a plan, and then adjusting it to your enemy's responses. Every turn you should be doing things that get you one step closer to winning.

Yes, Planning & Adaption would have my vote too.

Having both a big plan (maxing a strength of your nation or your pretender, focusing research on something, etc) and a short term one (for 2-3 turns in the future, so your key units go where you'll need them instead of wandering) + being able to adapt them to opposition (or ideally the capacity to manipulate your opponents, you can sometimes adapt opposition to your plans).
