  1. ( ahenobarb, 12-12-2002) Patch is required for several SLIC events (For instance ArmyIsValid cannot be used with the unpatched game). Patching the game is definitely required for modding your game or using someone else's mod.
  2. ( Martin Gühmann, 09-30-2001) Some bugs are fixed but I couldn't find them which ones. For scenarios and costumized maps it gives this anoying extra turn bug. However it is needed for all the great mods and gives slic writers more freedom. But for the last patch it is too poor. However I will take this as an example and of course as an warning how Activision supports its games. Therefore for the future I will never buy again a game from Activision, support is bad and their products are bugged and there will be no patch to fix that properly.
  3. ( Pink Panther, 07-10-2001) Enjoy playing Alexander Scenario. Patch gives more Advances at start of scenario, but still let down badly by AI's not withdrawing units when they agree to withdraw their units. Also does not fix saving/loading bug where all movement points, production and research are reset as if it is the next turn.
  4. ( Solver, 06-27-2001) Nothing great at all, though required for many mods and scenarios. Does something for multiplayer, but the game itself is too weak. They released the product before it was ready, and now everyone knows it. Bad, bad.
  5. ( LukeCz, 03-20-2001) There are a great number of other significant bugs in this Activision's game that haven't been rectified. ``When I was buying the game I hadn't been expecting so many annoying bugs.``So, I thought the patch would correct the bugs but It hasn't. ``A game should not be released without proper testing with such bugs.``I'm curious if Activision will release a new patch that correct the bugs, but this one probably improve only multiplayer game that is nice but not helpful if you do not play multiplayer games.
  6. ( orion106, 02-06-2001) Excellant, does wonders for multiplay
  7. ( 02-02-2001) Ahvigiljr has written this review.
    I think the patch does wonders for multiplayer games, but it doesn't really improve any other part of the game. I can't tell what the patch did other than for multiplayer games.
  8. ( Floris O, 01-23-2001) It always feels nice to have your software patched. I really don't know why, but it does. This patch, however, doesn't make me feel there's been done anything to balance the game. It's greatest achievement is to balance multiplay, but that wasn't really a problem, to me at least.``Anyway, you need this patch to play the World War II scenario, so I'll give it a 6 :).
