    Well, maybe a quick fix patch around Veterans Day, but besides that Thanksgiving seems way too soon. So I'll guess Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

      My top three guesses:

      1) Worker AI routines (revolving around what happens when you automate the lil' guys)

      2) Save/Reload file corruption

      3) "Multiplayer game drop/connection issues"

          A before Christmas patch, when lil jimmy goes to install Civ4 that he got for Xmas on christmas eve/day, he'll probably find one or two little things wrong, and go look for a patch. if he can't find a patch, he'll set it aside.

            I agree with the pre-Christmas rationale as described by H Tower. If there are any nagging video/sound/install issues they'll patch it up by the second week of December.

            Any major enhancements will be introduced with the scheduled Pitboss and SDK release, IMHO.

              November 11th, but it will be a minor patch

                Oct 28, and it'll be a 200 mb patch
                This space is empty... or is it?

                  Err, Adagio, I don't think the expansion will be free.

                      I don't think it will be buggy at all except for some fatal flaw in multiplayer which they will patch almost immediately. So I say about November 9th at maybe 16Mb.

                        It's not an expansion, it's just bug fixes


                        IIRC a game released a patch this size some time ago

                          If the patch countains art (new maps etc.) then 200MB is certainly possible, other than that:

                            Look, I'm trying to be civil. I haven't called Soren a hack in almost a year. I even changed my screen name so they wouldn't be reminded that I reminded them of all their failures with Civ3. I think they deserve the benefit of the doubt, until once again proven inept.

                            I actually think they might have a decent game here.

                                I guess some NET/MP issues and at least one perverted exploit bug.

                                I doubt they tested NET play enough. And I have confidence in the general population here in regard to perversion.
