I liked the idea as well, as I'm not a big fan of the traditional endgame. And maybe the format just needs some fine-tuning and isn't simply flawed. After all, normal games can sometimes also lose steam.
The aim of this game was to limit magic and also remove any distractions like research or site searching and just get right to the mid-game battles. In retrospect, I think putting the focus on limiting magic but requiring normal site searching and research would make for a more interesting game. I also thought about giving each nation a unique "spell of mastery" (i.e. a global) at level 8 or 9 to liven things up and provide a long term goal that could change the balance of power. Probably not from the first tier of globals but things like gem generators would be fine.
