How to rekindle love for the game?

I used to really like the game, but nowdays I cant get past turn 30 without getting bored.
Its just feels like the game is not exicting anymore. its easy to become an empire, the epic battles and epic enemies are not that hard anymore, lategame you just send doomstack and it all becomes just a big management game that is really repetitive.

I always play with mods, either SFO or the other regular mods that bring more content and QoL things.

anyone's got an idea on how to make the game more exciting?
