Err - why not? What have I missed?

I find the computers are capable of hitting the victory target before I do if I don't go to war with them and when I get there (they almost always have stronger dom than me for most of the game what with all their temple building) the game is over bar the mopping up. My forces generally vastly outgun the ai's by this stage and my magic is really kicking in. Also I find the more options available the weaker opponents the computers become and as the game goes on the amount of options are staggering.
