The wait at end of turn works for me in C2C just as it did in vanilla. I've always played with it on as I like to click end turn manually when I'm ready to end my turn.
That gives me an opportunity at the end of each turn to consider what else needs to be done this turn, and a natural spot to evaluate the bigger picture/strategy when needed.
When turns just pass by I get stuck in a reactive stance, just answering queries the game gives me, and end up never finding time to pause and appreciate the game or consider strategy.
