There are a number of threads regarding this on the Seven Wonders forum on BGG. Check them out, I think the game is pretty well balanced.

Definitely agree with this - I think the military part of the game is well balanced with the rest - it's just that when you first start playing, some elements (like military, or science) may seem to dominate because that's how that game played out. As you play more you'll see that there are a lot of ways to win - specializing in one area can help, but you can also win (and I have multiple times) by just getting average points in many areas.
