I take it, you are just pissed and trying to channel/hide/manage your anger by being sarcastic /passive aggressive on a forum which ultimately has no effect on the eventual release of the patch but calms your nerves by way of general acceptance and together in pain philosophy. That will be 100$, thanks.

I think whenever new dlc releases it is common practice for devs to release a slightly overpowered version of the civilization and then gradually nerf it. This has the benefit that more people tend to adopt it. The disadvantage is that devs are less creative and less efforts are put into it atleast early on plus the lack of interesting new gameplay. I have seen this trend in civilization 6 and it's not unsurprising to see in other RTS games. Though given that DE is released for 6+ months now, it just seems incompetence.

Tomorrow (so tuesday, not monday) is actually a good guess. The last updates were all released on tuesday. We also know that a patch will be released this month with quality of life updates, I wouldn't be surprised if they paired it with some civ changes.

Why is everyone always expecting a patch on a particular day? For 3-4 weeks now, people have been saying "patch this week/tomorrow". Even if we know "Tuesday" for sure, it is just speculation or wishful thinking for now.

That's not to say it won't happen, we just cannot know.

Glad they moved it to a Tuesday instead of thursdays. I think we had those critical bugs that got created with the new patch release but was only discovered next morning on late Friday when the devs were already in the pub

Isn't it just a 'small' UI updates patch? Reign of OP swedes won't end for one more month or so.

In case you didn't realise, that's exactly the point of my post. People keep saying the patch is coming but it never does. So till the end of time it is just 1 day away (aka never).

"Free beer tomorrow for those who missed it yesterday"

probably i am overthinking this - couldn't you then show up the next day and claim your pint by saying you missed the free drinks the day before yesterday?
