This is for good-old historical reasons. And, possibly, the developers thought 
it was to much work to adjust their installation/product to fit in with the 
restrictions found in Vista and later versions. Comes from lumping data files 
together with program files.

 From Vista onwards, program code was supposed to be installed in a protected 
area (\Program Files\Millennia\Legacy) and data was supposed to have been split 
between application data (\Program Data\Millennia\Legacy) and user data (\My 
Documents\Millennia\Legacy). Too much work!
