What will be patched first?

[Vraslosken]

However good the intentions might be, a game as complicated as this will never be perfectly balanced at release. Bugs aside, what do you think will be the first thing that the community will agree is "broken", and therefore will be patched soon? Pure speculation of course, based on what we've seen thus far.

Some immensely overpowered strategy involving a UU or a UA (or both), I guess ? (I remember the Cavalry, cossacks, redcoats of Civ4)

nah, it will be a immensly overpowered strategy, that had no intention of being in the game, or in lamen terms a glitch, like how you could make a super city in civ rev by using republic and lots of little settler building cities.

Crash-bugs and memory leaks.

OP said "bugs aside". Otherwise yes, of course.

Crash-bugs and memory leaks.

They would better do that before the release.

Crash-bugs and memory leaks.

Theres no memory allocation like in civ IV, so memory leaks shouldnt be a problem.

Bugs aside ?
Special abilities and uu/ub should be the most obvious because they tend to havethe largest impact on balance. From what I know- and thats's not much- the Ottomans have very strong uniqu units but they're balance by a weak special ability, so that's not much of a problem.
The most likely candidate for me is siberian riches. They might change the *2 resource bonus to a +2.
But then Firaxis never bothered to fix the comically overpowered praetorians in Civ4. They were a far bigger issue than Cossacks or Redcoats.

Multiplayer will be patched later.
