When losing is cool

What's wrong with Explore, Expand, Exploit, Exterminate?

Too much emphasis on expand makes a One Right Strategy of Expand. Expansion is key in any game but a game that over emphasizes on it is boring. Its like playing the exact same game over and over again. I can just make a self organizing map and run that and its about the same amount of amusement except in 60 seconds.
