Final Patch for Warlords?

In some cases, the work on new expansion packs also results in patches for the vanilla game and previous expansion packs. It's simple really, since if the game engine is improved, AI fixed, etc, many of those elements could be released for previous updates.

Most of the time though, those changes are only included in the XP itself. I rarely ever see a seperate patch released for the pre-XP game as well.

Hmmm, how does he get his info?

[Nikolai]

My thought too. Have you asked him BF?

[BigFree]

No, sorry, I did not ask him. Though, I know he plays with a person that is definately a tester.

[proviisori]

I think we all play with testers...

At least everybody who are in the team DGs.

You're always going to find people who claim to be testors but are just trying to show off. I'd take the whole comment with a big grain of salt if I were you. Firaxis isn't in the habit of releasing patches just before a new XP arrives, I've never seen them do that. They get the previous game fixed/altered first then they concentrate on the new XP.

there is a patch on the pirate.....doh !

[Virdrago]

Ouch.

My two cents are that I'd be shocked if another patch to Warlords was released.

It is however likely that BTS will include some minor fixes to Warlords but that will only be when playing BTS and not Warlords.

Yes, that is true. I just don't get that type of mentality though. I was a Civ3 beta tester myself; though I really didn't get a chance to do any real testing because of RL. I don't think I mentioned it to anybody until now.
