Good question Dell; I always wondered myself how this subject breaks down. Personally, I'm pretty fanatic in my disinterest once domination is achieved - believe it or not, I have yet to ever finish a single-player game. I find the opening, expansion, and early wars fascinating, but once I'm rolling over spears with tanks, who really cares anymore? Maybe if I blitzkrieged with more bombers and less artillery it would be more tolerable, but once the game reaches the point of moving 200 units per turn, it's decided enough for my patience levels...
