Civ4 is actually the most balanced game I've ever played, where the different civs/leaders/factions/races are actually different and not clones of each other. The more diverse you make each of the different players, the harder it is to make it all balanced. There are also so many game settings (even if you exclude all the unusual ones al OCC and Always peace) that even if the game is balanced in one configuration, it would be balanced in another.
All in all, firaxis has a very good track record with Civ4 vanilla being rather well balanced on the day of release, and becoming substantially more so after the last BtS patch. I really dont know what you're complaining about.
