We've all gotten to that point, usually in the industrial era, where we haven't achieved a victory condition, yet realized that the game is undoubtedly won. uddenly a glorious game becomes a grinding chore.
How to avoid this? Especially for builders woh have trouble on the warmonger levels like deity?
All victory conditions except conquest turned off (even domination is best off, it tends to kick in just as this gets interersting). Play the game as normal until you have gained absolute control of you r continent, or string of islands or lumpy bit of your pangea. Increase your luxury rate, build the FP near the core of your empire (core time wise not geographically). Shift your palace to a nice spot and watch the WLTKD notices pop up. Any city that has built everything available build units to scare off the AI. Enjoy the spectacle of corruption and waste disappearing little by little turn by turn. As each newly conquered region gets to the point that every city has built everything you could wish for start looking about for your next province to annex.
To make the WLTKD trick work your going to have to trade your left testicle for luxuries. Do it, over the ages you will be rewarded with an increasing number of "core" cities. As the corruption goes down so will your science rate. But to keep it going you're going to have to let that precious tehc lead dwindle to one or two techs at most.
Playing hunt the tactical nuke equipped sub is a true joy when you are only half way to researching SDI.
