Just looked it up aaaand......huh.....I don't think I hate it
Basically there's an 'age' reset which resets everyone's tech level back to the beginning because now there's new age tech and the old tech is obsolete; tech progress resets. If you lagged behind during an age, you're now back to a level playing field. Apparently one of the intents was that some civs that had early game advantage can now carry that advantage with them until the end (in some manner; I'm not sure how exactly it works).
Although it is admittedly more of a crutch for low-skilled players (like myself) that doesn't have anything to offer high-skilled players.
oh, right, the age reset mechanic
it seems interesting and i like it on paper, but i've never bothered with it and honestly probably never will
It's trash that somehow sapped my entire will to play when it happened. I seen a mod turning it off but it still leave the problem of era change being implemented very bad when it went from the fun side mechanic in previous games into primary one in civ7
