No, I have no more interest in wasting time downloading the patch. I don't bother with any games that use these overpriced DLC sales strategy. This coupled with the dumbing down of the game makes civ no more then a cheap cash cow instead of a worthwhile game.

The difference here though is that the fall and fragmentation of the newly conquered greek empire was not alexanders doing, it's because of the succesor, or the lack of one. All in all alexanders conquests were hugely succesful up until his death. If anything his only failing is not securing a...

Building an empire to stand the test of time... The third reich...how long did it last? No, Hitler doesn't fit this criteria at all I'm afraid, unless maybe if you made a civ game where you need to destroy a civ instead of building one.
