Love it or hate it, Sid Meier's Civilization V is still going strong and the team are still listening to user feedback and updating the game accordingly; sometimes even rolling out updates as big as today's.
We have a full list of patch notes for you
right here, but it's an across-the-board update, affecting the likes of User Interface, AI, Gameplay and Diplomacy (an area that really did need a fair bit of balancing or whole components overhauled).
Are you still playing the game? And if so, can you see any of these listed notes impacting the game positively for you?

- Fixed a bug where no autosaves will occur.
- Fixed the bug that dumps you out to Windows with no error message

The two in combination meaning FUUUUUUU.

i still find civ5 fun even with its flaws. these changes are a good start towards making other victory types viable/fun but i think there's still plenty of tweaking to be done.
not hugely worried about that though - as i said i'm still having fun and if civ4 is anything to go by there'll be a couple of expansion packs to flesh out the gameplay and plenty of time for patches/tweaking.

Try a different approach. I won with sheer military might and also with United Nations vote but i just cant win the space race or a culture victory.

It's not all that similar to AOE2. Age of Empires Online is actually free to play in beta now (if you can get Games for Windows Live to work, which I can't).

Massive amount of changes actually - I think I might start up a game.
