Civ5's boring mid-game

That does sound epic! I have a question though: how do games last into future eras when space victory is enabled? Do you disable it? Bc with even a small empire and 3-4 cities you can build the parts as you tech and launch the thing only 1/2 of the way through the information era...

There is a risk of some VC if someone really manages to run away. Your task, among others, is to distract them from chasing their victory. Switching off science VC would be almost an auto win, so i don't. If you really let someone get away then yes, they can launch @ t.250. Otherwise, you pretty much always have until t.300 to do the job. Also worth knowing that AI expand a lot more on huge maps, which sometimes hurts them.
