I used to win all the time like this.  It was my preferred method as it was a
pain to go around and mop everybody up.  On more than one occasion I
had a real down-to the wire space race.  Once I only won because I managed
to conquer his capital a turn before his spaceship got there (and three turns
before mine did.)
