You know what I'm talking about. After tearing two or three of your foes' empires out of the history books, you own 80% of the continent and are willing to let your sole friend enjoy his bit of territory. It's now somewhere around the Renaissance, and you have to decide between busting out a navy worthy of shipping your troops across the ocean in order to secure a domination, or turn inward and upward, and head toward Alpha Centauri.
But, damn it, they're both tedious. I just want to resign and move on to the next game. Maybe I shouldn't play continental anymore; I want to win other than by space, because I'm seeking to break tendencies, yet I can't stand the tedium of sending units across the ocean. Or perhaps I should start in a different era, or play on a bigger or smaller map, or... Or what? How do you get over the mid-game blues?
