The Daily Update at the Com

So it looks like 1.4 comes out tomorrow (Tuesday) and the axe is a teaser for the 1st expansion that primarily focuses on 5 NA tribes.

sweet. waiting for the patch then I'm gonna go get empire going. No way I get the expansion until the game is nice and happy diplomacy :)

The only thing that concerns me about the patch is the Naval changes! but i suppose I MUST get the new patch for the diplomacy... Ah well so long well balanced naval play! Diplomacy is more important :D

It won't take long for the community to get a mod out undoing the 1.4 naval changes. Maybe with a bit of luck, there will be a stand-alone naval mod that goes beyond that (maybe making it impossible for sailing ships to sail directly into the wind).

You know what the worst part is? I first saw the announced release for 1.4 yesterday (different time zone) so I'm already anxious for the first comments on the new patch for more than a day now. I know I won't be able to play tonight and chances are I won't be able to read comments either.

I'm downloading the patch now, but the initial player comments seem all around positive.

GAH! I'm dying to play this now and it freezes at startup...

did you find out if it was because of your anti virus?
