I agree with Psychic Ostrich. Of course, not every strategy will be useful (see: villies rush after 40 minutes strategy), but they don't want one dominant strategy for the whole game.
Consider the fact there are so many different civilizations, minor dieties, units, etc, so it's hard to think there's one dominant strategy in such a game.
