I almost always set a victory condition for percent score for the leader over the #2 player. This the game will actually be won by someone without actually having to exterminate all traces of all other empires.

I don’t know there is something about total extermination that tosses my cookies.

This is getting rediculous. I can't freaking beat the game! I've had it for almost a year, and every single time I play I loose miserably. I even crank all the settings to easy, and give myself all the boosts I can. I simply can't win. Just a min ago I lost while the attacking player (AI) had 2.0M while I had not even 300K score. what on earth is going on here?

Hay if you are saying it gets boring than I can understand, but your original post sounded like you just couldn’t beat it. Now if I misunderstood than my fault.
