I have had the Modern era end with Age progression way way way too fast even on "long mode". You can't even complete a normal victory and it always comes down to legacy points. Please remove this mechanic and let the ages just run normally. The "Score Victory Conditiion" was always a last resort in other Civ games, now it is how every game ends in Multiplayer because someone rushes science and just shoots the Age into another dimension.
#Future Techs/Civics progressing the Age ruins games.

Exactly!
I don't like the fact you are forced to research Future Tech/Civic over and over if you have good Science/Culture generation

I think it's fine in the prior ages. You shouldn't have all the time in the world to complete your legacy path goals. Racing against era progress makes sense and pushing that era progress with tech/culture is fine.
I haven't played a full modern era, but it sounds reasonable to focus on the victory paths rather than just timing out the era and defaulting to points.
