I change my playstyle each game, so that's not an issue. For me, at least. The first game I was in I played as Germany, and was trying to expand Germany to all German speaking regions, then just keep that size for the rest of the game. If I hadn't been inactive occasionally it probably would have worked. The second game as the Turks I tried to get everyone to fight each other. (didn't work out, that strategy)
This game I have something big planned, but I'm not telling anyone what that is.
