4X games have had the "snowball" problem for as long as I've been playing them. You hit a point where your victory is all but assured and all you're doing is hitting the next turn button over and over again until you win. With Civ you can get to a point where you're wiping out enemy musketmen with your attack helicopters. It's not an easy game design problem to solve.
