I think your observations may be a bit off base. I think a lot of players including the original poster would probably enjoy a mod like the one I linked to.

I think the points you bring up are really just a matter of opinion more than anything else. I see the mod to be as viable solution as your solution you suggest about hitting next turn 10 times.

Take a second look at your posts. They really seem to stem from an opinion you have on how single player games should be played rather than an actual argument that the mod hurts a player's experience.
