*shrug* Very late game has nuclear weapons and as the analogy suggests warfare is very different than before. If your opponent has access to significantly more nuclear weapons than you do...well you're gonna have a very hard time winning using traditional armies. Properly leveraged Tartarian Gate trumps master enslave/rain of stones/etc. Chain wishing, arcane nexus, army of lead....the very late game has a couple flavors of nuclear weapons which can trump each other depending on the situation. If you don't intend to stockpile nukes and shift how you play, you darn well better plan on winning before others do.
