Is it just me?
Often I find that a game reaches a point when it is perfectly obviously that I have won, and yet is still takes ages before I officially win.
On a large world, you can be twice or three times as big as your nearest rival, and ahead in tech, and yet it takes ages to steadily crush the other powers to enable domination. The space race is no good - you can be well ahead at the point that infantry are appearing, and its a long long wait to get the final components of the race.
OK i know that the answer may be play on a higher level - I am normally on emperor or monarch - but that is not quite the point. Whatever level you are playing on, you can get to a point of being dominant and clearly going to win, but it still take hours to get there.
Does anyone else think that the victory conditions could do with altering to recognise these situtions where 'its all over but the slogging'?
