Other game companys do release patches quite a lot,but I was looking on the CIV V website,and I had a look at their patches and it was epic

I wonder why no one else has done that.

To me ,it seems like CA does have a rival. Sid's Meir Civilization does have a lot of epicness in it,and its making me want to buy CIV 5.

I just wonder why CA could never do this ,unlike the CIV team,who do care a lot about the community.

Don't get me wrong here,I'm a dedicated total war fan,but CIV 5 is just....I mean,CA needs to go the way in which the Sid meir team are going(Right now,they released a lot of patches and DLCS~)

That's a bad thing. Civ 5 came out as an absolute train wreck. They didn't have to do balance changes. They had to redo the entire pacing of the game. Those are the patch notes of a game in the middle of development, not patch notes for a released product.

And their DLCs are all terrible value for the buck. In their defense, CA's DLCs have terrible value too, with the exception of Rise of the Samurai, which I am planning to purchase after I'm finished with the game I'm currently playing.

I would love Civilization 5, as a game, except it is buggy as hell, and the AI sucks bad. I switched to Shogun 2 as my alternative, and for now, I am playing it as a turn based strategy game. I am very happy with Shogun 2: I encounter few bugs of consequence, and the AI is decent, at least for the strategic game.

I have not yet purchased any add-ons for Shogun 2, as I am still learning the base game. I am sure I will buy RoS and maybe some others later.

It seems like you want to convince yourself about Civ 5 being a very good game however I have to remind you that nobody has the power to make you conclude otherwise while you think that way. So, well, go get a Civ 5 and enjoy it.
