Hey, the game didn't really work for me anyway, I have nothing to lose...

I was going to start a new thread on it too. Beat me to it. Off to go see what my graphics look like. *Crosses fingers*

Thanks for the notes!

Huge? I was expecting 100 meg!

You see... they listen to us.

Although that does change the fact that the game has been rushed (the palace view was planned initially, oh, bloody money, bloody market)

Thanks a lot.

Ooops one more thing, patch does reset your options so if you have made any changes (like the automated workers not leave old improvements) you need to change them again.

Anything over 10MB is big to me...

I feel for the dial up denizens...

It won't download for me!

NVM, it started working.

Anything under 1GiB is small to me.

Had to turn off my firewall to DL the thing, tho.
