I agree, the strategy of not using Strategize or Mobilize can leave you open to an attack from your enemies.Your strategy is interesting to me as a late game tactic. One thing I have learned after many games is to watch what season cards don't and do come up. If the winter rune cards come up early there is really no reason to save up for them.
If by chance they have not come up say by year 4 or 5 than your strategy would be great to quickly prepare for their very possible eventuality.
That all being said my initial orders are aimed at setting up a small empire that allows me to adopt what ever may be the path to victory.... usually :p
Great that you are posting your strategies though! keep it up
