What is it with this 1.08 stuff. Is that a standard? Oh, I am mixing up with EU2's last patch, which was 1.08. Wonder what Firaxis did with 1.01, 1.02, and so forth?

[yin26]

I bet those are previous versions used in testing leading up to 1.08.

[Mylon]

Hip hip, hooray!

Now, to bug the developers about some of the more obscure bugs, like the PyCity.changeCulture() function.

[Boris Godunov]

We need a fix list!

[Shogun Gunner]

Excellent news.

/me hurries off to download the patch.

Damn it, nooo! I have things I need to do. This is going to ruin my plans for the week...

[MasterDave]

Thanks for posting the list.

What I do not see on that list is whether or not it is still possible to take cities from the AI in negotiation by exploiting the "What is the price for peace" option. I have seen the AI willing to give up way more than they should even when ending a war they are winning. Sometimes this happens, sometimes not, but it makes for some very unbalancing situations, and could really be abused in a multiplayer game (against computer players).

If the patch did not fix this problem, then it should be near the top of the list for the second patch.

The AI peace negotiate bug is also fixed.

[padillah]

Unfortunately the bug that doesn't save the grid state is not fixed.

Also, the strategy layer is still not saved.

The only two things I was actually looking forward to.

Oh, well. I guess I'll just have to enjoy playing anyway.

- holding during startup will clean out the cache

IIRC, that should be " holding the shift key during ... "

Let's hope this solves many peoples problems.
