New Continuity option.

Yeah it's probably a bit boring. But on the other hand, if we already have the three eras as separate games, it would make sense to utilize this to make it less of an end-game race, and more of an all three mini games matter? I mean, that's one of the points of a reset in games, in my opinion. Get a score for what you've achieved until then, strap down the game to some extent, and start anew with a fresh base and slightly different rules. It seems what civ 7 was going for as well. But if all that score from previous eras does is shave off 1-2 turns in the end, and give some mild bonuses for snowballing, it's quite useless as a mechanic.

I despise the ages system but I actually don't hate the "legacy points into leader points" way it operates now. Could be something there for a diplo victory you are always working towards.

I agree. But speaking of which, what happened to the modern era AI? I remember the race for artifacts around release, but now this is almost gone. There are many more artifacts on the map, but the AI gets only a handful and then somehow stops.

Hmm... You are right I think. Though to be honest I have only played 3-4 games past the middle of exploration since Crossroads. Fixing victory conditions is only a part of the issue.

I find score victories a bit bland and boring

The problem arent the victory conditions, never were in the past
