probly because of the mass ai armies since they recruit and summon at random as they advance ( my problem is that late game i get obsessed with getting a certain spell/summon and forget to recruit for ages . also i expand really slowly)

Try having different victory conditions. 60% of the provinces, 50% of the 20 victory points, 5 of the 8 capitals (1 vp per capital, no extra vps, 7 AIs)... I don't think I will conquer all the AI's provinces in DomII, ever. And I have never done that, either. It just isn't fun to beat a dead horse.

Neither did I, in 2 years of play... Just because it bores me to continue game vs the AI past turn 30-40 at most, ...
I use SP as a training ground for pretender and basic expansion strategies, but not as "full games"; only MP !

No problem to play with (or against) you, even if you're English ... I only play pbem, no ip (lack of time for long play sessions).
