Thanx to 2k Greg for keeping the community informed!

AI

* Worker AI improvements .
* Update to tactical AI pillaging code. Additionally, always check to make sure it’s not trying to pillage in an enemy dominance zone.
* AI victory emphasis improvements (more efficient end-game when focusing on Science and Diplo victories).
* AI should colonize other continents regularly.
* AI will emphasize production of an Ocean going explorer unit when the time comes.
* Adjust Napoleon to make him more likely to go for culture.
* More aggressive second wave expansion (mostly off shore) after initial empire building and consolidation has occurred.
* Optimization when finding routes (pathfinder improvement).
* Multiple tweaks and bug fixes.
* AI will now build ranged and mobile units more in line with the flavor settings.
* Multiple defensive AI tweaks.


GAMEPLAY

* Cities heal more quickly.
* Only allow one upgrade per unit from a goody hut.


UI

* Tweaked the single-player score list to hide the civs of unmet ai players.


DIPLO

* AI's attitude towards you is now visible in the diplo screen and diplo drop-down.
* Added info tooltip for an AI leader's mood. Lists things that are making an AI player happy/upset.
* New diplo system: Declaration of Friendship (public declaration with diplomatic repercussions).
* New diplo system: Denounce (public declaration with diplomatic repercussions).
* New custom leader responses (Serious Expansion Warning, Aggressive Military, Luxury Exchange, Borders Exchange, Gift Request).


MODDING

* Parent category counts now include counts of child categories.
* Selecting/deselecting a category now automatically selects/deselects it's children and its parent.
* Tweaked category name truncation to better fit names.
* Hide categories w/ no children and a count of 0.
* Added support for fallback languages (if mod is not translated, fall-back to English so text keys are not showing).


MISC

* Fixed save format which causes saves to increase the memory footprint of the game drastically when loading frequently over the course of the game.

FRIENDSHIP!

Hard to say how much it (the patch) will accomplish, but it can't hurt.

glad to read about the colonizing and ocean stuff, going to be fun to see what stuff they changed

* Multiple tweaks and bug fixes.

This tells me... absolutely nothing.

I hate it when devs do this. I want the specifics.

Sounds good. In particular having the AI actually going for a Diplo/Space win every now and then won't hurt.

About flippin' time. I have a hard time believing that nobody thought of this before the game was released.

* New diplo system: Declaration of Friendship (public declaration with diplomatic repercussions).
* New diplo system: Denounce (public declaration with diplomatic repercussions).
* New custom leader responses (Serious Expansion Warning, Aggressive Military, Luxury Exchange, Borders Exchange, Gift Request).

Promising.

These might fix the game. Might. If these are implemented well the game will be upgraded from "seriously flawed" status to merely "buggy."

Thanks for the info!!

Give it a year of patches and Civ5 will be excellent!

I'm interested about the diplo stuff. I don't want them to bring back Civ4, but a compromise between what they had and Civ4 would be a good thing. I wonder if the AI can still deceive (so not all things making them upset would appear on the list). Either way, I'm looking forward.

lol to diplo changes. they were so full of ceerap when they described the diplo system's opacity as being better to something that allowed us at least a little insight into wth the ai was "thinking"
