The mod is highly rated just because a lot of people like it. We authors made this mod for ourselves to play at first, and later we uploaded it to workshop. Soon it became popular. That's what happened. We are here to share fun, not to serve the players. If you don't like it, it means it's not suitable for you .
I highly recommend "Diversity in Harmony" mod for you, since its authors are my friends and I think you may like it.
Have a good time

The author of this mod is Chinese and most of the users of this mod are Chinese. Since the Chinese are the most populous people in the world, there are more Chinese Civ6 players than any other country in the world. Therefore, a mod made in China will have more subscriptions and ratings. It is a very simple reason.

In addition, non-native English speakers may evaluate a mod only because it corresponds to their native language in the first place.

I like it. You don't. C'est la vie. The world still turns... (or just...sits, if it is flat).

A lot of work was put into this mod by Gold and other modders.
I've yet found a lot of incoherencies, like the sabum kibbitum overpowered with 30 combat points in despite of +17 vs. cavalry.

------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------
=== WHAT SHOULD BE DONE ===
------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------

=> Napalmed "units_major" files in "major_civilizations"
Those remnants from another added mod I guess, were overriding with GoldenAge's units modifications.
e.g. Keshig had 45 combat alongside the usual 45 ranged combat and 2 range. This was a bad idea to begin with, but really annoying knowing the mod is also enhancing Mongolia's cavalry bonus. It was even worse with the firesupport mechanics addition!
------------------------------------------------------------
=> Melee units
-Warrior: 25 combat; as part of better ergonomics for its unique variants
------------------------------------------------------------
=> Unique units and variants are now optimized by following the vanilla model
Some examples knowing a warrior now has 25 combat and 40 cost:
-Sabum kibittum: 22 combat (still with 40 cost, +17 vs. cavalry, +1 move, +1 sight)
-Eagle warrior: 33 combat 65 cost
-Gaesatae: 25 combat 60 cost
-etc...
------------------------------------------------------------
=> Cavalry units
-Super helicopter: 3 sight
------------------------------------------------------------
=> Naval units
-Galley: 3 moves 2 sight
-Wooden: 3 moves 2 sight
-Carrack: 4 moves 2 sight
-Caravel: 4 moves 3 sight
-Ironclad: 5 moves 3 sight
-Gunboat: 5 moves 3 sight
-Destroyer: 5 moves 3 sight 90 antiair
-Missile frigate: 6 moves 4 sight 100 antiair

-Quadrireme: 3 moves 2 sight 2 range; no ressources needed
-Galleass: 4 moves 2 sight 2 range; no ressources needed
-Frigate: 4 moves 2 sight 2 range
-Armored cruiser: 5 moves 3 sight 2 range
-Battleship: 5 moves 3 sight 3 range 90 antiair
-Battlecruiser: 5 moves 3 sight 3 range 100 antiair
-Missile cruiser: 6 moves 4 sight 4 range 110 antiair

-Privateer: 45 combat 55 rangedcombat 4 moves 2 sight 1 range
-Submarine: 65 combat 75 rangedcombat 4 moves 3 sight 2 range
-Nuclear submarine: 85 combat 95 rangedcombat 5 moves 4 sight 3 range
------------------------------------------------------------
=> Air units are now all back to default
-Not overpowered anymore
-More focus on airstrips
------------------------------------------------------------
=> Support units
-Observation balloon: 2 moves 4 sight
-Drone: 4 moves 6 sight
------------------------------------------------------------
=> Siege units now evolve in late game like in vanilla
-Atomic artillery: 2 moves
-Rocket artillery: 2 moves 4 range
------------------------------------------------------------
=> Recon units are now balanced so the AI will not only produce those like any human should
-Locked 2 moves and 3 sight without new eras' upregulation; sufficient considering their promotions and the paradrop ability
-Ranged attacks are back (except for the scout); required for the specops priority target ability
-Back to preupdate points (15:0-30:30-50:50-70:70)
------------------------------------------------------------
=> Mongolia is now balanced with the firesupport mechanics addition
-Back to default +3 cavalry combat bonus
-Back to +25% ordu XP bonus
-Keshig: 1 range

------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------

=> Same class same tier districts unbalanced yields are now fixed
e.g. there is currently none interest into building something else than a mint, public school...

------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------

=> Better mechanics for the "city centers 5 tiles spacing range" setting
(very important knowing this mod is meant for tall play)

Make GoldenAge great again!

Whoever write this post is rude and lack of appreciation.
The creator of the mod done it for free with the sheer love of the game and civ community. Judging from the amount of content, clearly many hours and hard work has been put into this project. Asking compensation for other's hard work you didn't pay is ridiculous.

7argoMinch above on the other hand give out solid advice. Everyone have the freedom to express their opinion of the mod, hope every civ fans can be respectful to each other and contribute to the mod community like what 7argoMinch did.

Convoluted way of saying "I don't like overhaul mods"

I really enjoy this mod. Thank you, creators.
