They start out with 162 provinces per 7 players, that makes roughly 23 uncontested provinces per players, and over 30 once 2 players are out.

With indies at 6 (why not 9?) expansion isn't terribly slowed, and standard research is just the icing on the cake as it makes shure that summoned SCs show up in turn 15 or so. (Think - during these 15 turns your heavy infantry wouldn't even have crossed all the prov. you have without any contest !)

So is this game a proof that something has be nerfed?
I don't think so. You can do so much by adjusting the game settings (difficult research, site frequency <40) ...
