Tech Tree limitations.
It is disappointing that Firaxis decided to divide the techs completely into ages, where you have to discover all of teh techs of an age to move on to the next. In civ2, your tech path was one of the most important strategic choices you had to make. Now, it doesn't really matter as much. I feel that it reduces some on the complexity and intricateness of gameplay and the game overall.
The worst thing about this? It appears to be one of those things that can't be fixed...
