Extend Nomic's methodology to analysis, http://www.chessvariants.org/multiplayer.dir/nomicchess.html, and realize it is matter of degree, not all or nothing inclusion. If having royalty is immutable per Nomic 100s, then that is the definition. But if royalty is mutable rule too, then to determine is how many steps removed a given CV is from a standard.  So each CV is CV of x-degree by how many Mutators it takes to get back to the original. What is a CV gets discussed once every couple years. Other unconventional win conditions are in Maxima, Anti-King, Betza's and Parton's Racing games.
