There's already a way to end a stalemate: diplomacy.
"Risk all your troops on a daring land grab. Use diplomacy to coordinate a group assault on the game leader. Feel the thrill of victory as you crush your last opponent."

That's a map flaw, and up to the user to play that one..... It's a well-known fact that City Mogul just transcends all boundaries.

It's not intended as a new setting. It's intended as a fix of the existing Escalating setting.

Okay what about Hive, World 2.1, and First Nations Americas? They all have a huge chance of deadlocking...Also, 3-player on any map has a good chance of it

Maybe not "broken" but certainly not perfect. Escalating spoils are supposed to prevent deadlocks, but we do see deadlocked games on the larger maps. When there's stacks of 1600 sitting around, cashing for another 400 isn't enough of a game-changer to get things going again.
