I also don't finish games. Can't remember the last game I finished, probably been a year or more.

The problem for me is the time I spend doing a turn near the end. I'll sneak 2 hours in at the end of the night and only get 2 turns in. So I start a new game, let the last one languish on the save game list for a couple of months (because I'm going to go back and finish it), then delete all of them and start the cycle again.

I switched to easy research a few months ago, just so I can use more high level spells. I also find the AI is much tougher on that research level.
