I haven't played this game but I believe your modifications do improve the game experience, especially when it catapults this game into your Top 10. Game Mods for boardgames / card games could be a great UA-cam series. I remember when people used to play Magic with alternative rules, different stills of play and it was fun. Then Magic took those different games and made it their own. It became less desirable to players after Magic put their own price tag on these alts.
Unfortunately I did not enjoy this one. After 3 plays we were done with it. As you said you have to play acertain way to do well, and I like games which let me try all kinds of different strategies. This is not one of them.
The games I love tend to score higher on BGG. Ancient Knowledge intrigues me, but I'm trying to figure out why it has such a low BGG rating (comparatively). I'm thinking your comment might be the same reason for many who didn't enjoy it, but I'm not sure yet.

well, if you don't race in a racing game, things tend to not go very well :)
