The thing is that this is not a problem with the game itself, but a problem between the game and you. And that, in turn, is easily solved by you not playing the game, and us continuing to enjoy the tight and tense and exciting prolonged endgame it offers after the very first few turns already.
So, this is not a case of the legions of Cyclades being right and my being wrong; it is obviously a matter of taste.
Uh, that's what haslo said... multiple times. I added emphasis to illustrate.
