If the ESport idea is just going to be a game mod and not the way it will be played from now on, then this patch is just doing good.
1. fix bugs: who can not like it?
2. new civs: some fresh air at last, some variety makes the game better and more fun.
3. balancing the game: this is a really difficult task, the intentions are legit, we have to wait and see how it turns out.
