Cool, isn't it? Only, the game patched automagically for all you steam fuckers and this brand new patch makes the save files from your previous version incompatible! Say goodbye to your "just 10 more rounds to victory!" game. But I love STEAM though, because with it I don't have to search the darkest places of the interweb, remember where I downloaded the patch and then double click on it to recompile my kernel.
Time to start over.
- Updates to Sid Meier's Civilization® V have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted. The major changes include:
UI
- Fix for production prompt that sometimes appears with newly created puppet states that could stop the player from being able to end the turn.

- Resource icons now come up with Ctrl-R again, instead of sharing the same button with Build Roads.
- Selecting a great general will no longer cause yield icons to appear.
- Added option to disable auto-unit cycling.
