SP late game boredom?

[jutetrea]

So, what do most folks do around late game - you have the game won, its just a matter of time. I generally have magic superiority, troops quality superiority (maybe not #'s), and a well carved area. Then its just a matter of finishing off the remaining opponents.

I've found myself abandoning the game frequently, which is a bit sad after all the effort put forth. I just get too bored with the micro, its great fun to get to that stage but after its just advancing troops.

I wish when you turned it over to the computer you had the option for it to actually play out - maybe just show a colored map overview to see if your nation advances and when it wins. Keep track of how many turns maybe. Can that be done via MP? start a game, turn your nation to computer and keep hosting?
