I love the early game, it has so many great things in it. The exploration, the race to get to resources. Discovering the lay of the land and new tribes and other cultures. Its also exciting to find the sea for the first time, or the ice and figure out where you are!
I think the later game does get less exciting but is often still good in its own way and i disagree totally about the flight being too powerfull.
Flight is suposed to be high powered, flight changed the face of warfare forever from rock paper scissors to planes beat all. In games i have played civs without flight are ripe for picking but those powerfull civs always make defences of Sam infantry or aircraft on patrol (you can see them flying around as you look at their cities).
Changing it would change the fundamentals of flight being historically powerfull, as gunpowder is in the game to cultures which dont have it or use it in the right way.
