I think it's just to help the game from ending too abruptly. I loved the game pre-Revised Edition, but there were times where in the 3rd year or so it would just suddenly end when things were getting good. That's why I prefered the Epic version, which required more runes, and the Road to Victory rules (which are the 'normal' victory rules for the Revised edition) also help make sure you don't just have an abrupt, often unsatisfying end to the game.↧
