Instead of adding 9 more rounds, maybe play 12 rds but triple research after 9 due to the escalation of hostilies leading to increased costs of implementing new tech during time of war. That would also give a shortened period where battle is the most viable option to change the outcome. I love this game, but I agree that most of the game is build up with less battle then I would expect.
I agree that 12 rounds is a better number than 18. You would be surprised at how much can happen in 3 rounds.
However, I disagree about not much battle. I'm now somewhere around 30 plays, and I find combat to usually be starting around round 5 with fights almost every round at that point. It does depends on the group and the number of players, however.
