Autoendy options would be nice to agree on before game, i.e. 
two quick victory conditions:

a minimal number of turns or so and either:
- player score*players left in game > relative victory setting 1 >1.00
(efficiency?)
- player score/sum(score)> majority victory setting 2 >= 0.50 (dominance?)

dedicated to you, Mr. endy.
