So when I play civ I have this problem where I play a game up to around the year 500ad maybe and then quit and start a new game. I think this is usually do not have a middle game strategy and am unfamiliar with middle game tech paths. I have a couple friends that also play only the ancient era before they start new games. I do manage to complete games once and a while but I always feel very overwhelmed by the amount of cities I have and everything that needs to be managed. Most of the games I play are usually conquest so the ones that I do complete usually just end in my giant army demolishing everything in site for the final few centuries of the game(with cannons and grenadiers).
Does anyone have ideas of how I can get over this hump and start enjoying the more modern half of the game?

Only time that I've gone that far without winning was my first five or so games when I was playing on warlord level and was two eras past everyone else.
