Completing SP Games

I try to finish every SP game, but I only play on small/medium maps. Personally, I cannot imagine grinding a single-player game out to its (foregone, by then) conclusion on a large map.

I finish almost all my SP games, but that's largely because I've figured out how to properly calibrate my victory conditions. I tend to go with "1 VP per capital", and set the needed VP to half the number of players +/- 1. I found that this tends to make the game end just about when my dominance starts to become complete and boring, the ideal time to call it a wrap.
