So I've been playing this game for some time, greatly enjoy the game, but I have a problem with it now.

I'm just bored. I play games any difficulty higher than Hard depending on how many AI's and how big the map is, but I can barely bring myself to finish games. I've created custom factions, mixed up strategies, but I can't figure out a type of game that I can finish from beginning to end and have fun the whole time.

I'm a huge fan of large scale games, but I can't seem to limit the Wildlands enough to where there are just a limited amount of city settlements available. I really enjoy playing Heroes of Might and Magic, but I think this game has so much more potential, but I just can't seem to find it.

TL/DR: Love the game, but am bored, and don't like playing games with mass amounts of settlements. Need advice on mixing it up.
