I guess a lot of it is a matter of play style. To be honest, I've noticed almost no difference. The AI is a little more aggressive in campaign (i.e. once they attack me not one faction has yet agreed or asked for a cease fire. Currently at war with almost every faction.) Other than that, every bug is still there in full. Even many of the things they say they fixed are still occurring. And yea, I checked and made sure that I'm running 1.1.

Over all, I'd say a complete non-patch. Fortunately while I think the game has a lot of problems, I didn't think the game was broken so it's still playable to me. With the unpacker I can now mod it and fix several of the bugs myself. So not a complete waste. Just a disappointment.
