Did anyone fix patch G? It was the last working multiplayer patch as long as you turned off Hyborem and Basium (they caused an OOS error whenever they captured a city).
IIRC it was an easy fix (I have no modding skills whatsoever) in the following patch, but then it introduced a series of other bugs that caused a multitude of OOS errors that then continued in the remaining patches until the game was abandoned.
Patch G was probably the last best patch, apart from that OOS. The game was incredibly streamlined and the AI not completely terrible. There was barely any slowdown in the game too late game.
(I'd rather not play MoM, the game changes way to much for my taste, plus it suffers from turn-slow-down syndrome when you play with more than 10 AI on marathon.)
*edit*
Never mind, it seems that the More Naval AI fixes all these issues! TIME FOR FFH!!!!
