I'm thinking the same. I just don't have the time any more to fight wars and playing the expansion game isn't overly fun 
I've noticed a trend of people expanding so much that now they have this huge ungainly empire and no desire to manage it. They complain about how much work it is, and how much time it takes, yet they never stop expanding! You guys are like welfare moms complaining about all the children you have to take care of, but are still getting pregnant every chance you get.
