So, has anyone played with the new patch? Has it helped the brain-dead AI?

Although these neighbors and trade partners shared a common river valley and supreme deity (Amun) they were often in direct competition if not outright war. In this head-to-head competitive scenario, you will take the role of one of these powers to see who can truly become the most worthy disciple of the great god Amun by being the first player to create 7 Temples in his honor.

    District repair costs now computed properly based on both game speed and start era. Will always be 25% of the cost of creating a new district of that type.
    Correct Alexander's "To the World's End" healing ability so it only triggers if the city has a COMPLETED wonder in it.
    Wonders should always be repairable after they have been hit by a nuclear blast
