I would rather they left poor ol' CiV alone than release this sad excuse of a "patch".
I mean let's be honest here - the only reason for them to even release the October Patch was the launch of Beyond Earth, so they could add a stupid link to the Steam Store on the Science Victory screen.
Of course it would feel like a slap to the face had they patched the game just to do that. So instead we got a handful of changes that doesn't really change anything.
The only meaningful one is 50% less warmongering hate. I mean, it only makes sense war and conquest should be plentiful in Ancient times and frowned upon in Modern Era, right? History of mankind, anyone?
The science exploit was game-breaking indeed, but any sane person stopped using it long ago and just forgot about it.
Social Policy changes are a mixed bag. They were probably needed, but now we have two Policies that are sitting all on their own, not connected to any other. Sad.
As for multiplayer, oh well. Sucks for those 7 people that played MP CiV, I guess. Couldn't care less myself, personally. Still , pretty sad patch overall.
