All this really tells us is that lots of strategies are viable. The games everyone is talking about have had particular circumstances in game setup, what the other players have done and will also have depended how good they were.

Well, and it also tells you the circumstances under which those strategies are viable. Frex, Baalz' point about blood nations bootstrapping into death via vampire lords is well-taken IMHO.
