    Hehehehe.... At least I can claim to have the package open and the CD inserted before the patch was released on Apolyton.

          These sound promising! A good reason to build airfields.

            Will the fixes that apply to the original work if you don't have PTW yet?

              That was fast! I seem to remember that some Firaxis guy said he hoped PTW didn't need any patches, but they must have worked some time with this?

                Wow, that was fast. I should have the game in 5-10 minutes; as soon as someone comes back to work at my dorm's front desk so I can claim my package.

                  1) probably gold status happened a bit earlier than announced. between gold status and shipment of copies there can not be any changes in the code so it's normal to have a patch ready a couple days after the game starts arriving in stores
                  2) the same thing happened with SMAC
                  3) i'm almost certain that this patch wont work with the original civ3

                      Now that is a good one to fix!

                        Guess you're right, Mark. I think we should be happy for anything that makes the game better!

                          Hope this isn't the only way we can get further patches.

                            I've got the patch before the game. Now that's a first for me!

                              You will still be able to download patches normally. However, if you connect to GameSpy and a new patch is available, it will download it for you. MP will not allow you to join games created with a different version of PTW.
