2K Game is preparing to roll out a massive patch for its recently released turn-based strategy game, Civilization V.
The patch notes were posted in the official 2K Games forums, and a 2K representative in the forums, 2K Greg, states that they do not necessarily represent all of the changes being made with the upcoming patch.
