1 week?!

That's great! Much less than I actually expected.

Don't get your hopes too high.

It is possible that the patch will actually require a patch in case something new slips through.

Hopefully the major issues will be addressed and the minor ones will be fixed by later patches.

As far as garrisons the AI seems pretty inconsistent to me. Some campaigns I'll see large garrisons and some campaigns I won't. I have been playing on H/VH lately and even if the AI garrison is small there will usually be a strong stack within a turn or two's distance.

So instead of getting to wait out a siege I have to assault pretty quickly or face two enemy armies on the battlefield.

Any news yet?

What often happens, simply because of the logistics of production and preparing for distribution, is that the bugs discovered during beta get addressed in the first patch to be produced as close to launch as possible.

It takes time to create the disks, packaging and stockpile for shipping so that part of production is usually well underway during the latter part of a beta.

It is quite possible that the coders have been working on a patch for the last month or more already.

That's my understanding of the general process anyway. I could be wrong, I often am.
