I must assume this will not be in the patch.

I was my understanding that the patch was delayed to implement a fix for that very issue... I can only guess that the comment on micromanagement is based on the fact that a lot of units will get there arses handed to them if they get into hand to hand fighting....

Fixed missile collision code to reduce friendly fire casualties.

What does this mean exactly?

If I had to guess, i'd say it means units directly infront of archers/peltasts/slingers(or intermingled with them) won't get shot in the back. I don't think they would make friendly arrows lest likely to kill when shooting into a big melee battle.

Yes, the devil is in the details with FF. There are several things they *should* have done particularly in the logic of fire at will. It doesn't sound like they changed the FAW logic, but I hope to be proven incorrect. And the fire command delay. That is the other absolutely maddening aspect.

I'll have a minor fit if I see missile troops killing guys in their own unit. It's such a ridiculous issue.

I don't have a problem with the cease fire delay - experienced units stop firing smartly, less experienced don't. That's pretty normal, really.

One thing I didn't see - the Wonder bonus dropping off after 4 turns.
