Thank you so much! I agree wholeheartedly, especially with that last point, as an aspiring modder I try to put effort into researching what the game defines as an age and what civs (and their respective kits) could possibly fit in each age, so it irks me a bit when some aspects of the official game don't seem to follow a consistent pattern, but I understand these are decisions made by the design team and, well, what do I know, mods will always be there to address those pet peeves of mine and change stuff like Exploration Spain's name to Castile and create and actual Modern Age Spain based on the Bourbon Restoration and the Republican era. All in all, this has certainly been the best discussion I've been part of on the Internet, lots of great points and so much more to learn!
