This sim is simply not finished - embrace that fact. That is not a complaint or criticism, it's just a simple fact. Therefore, assume it is a leaked beta, and play it as such. The actual release date is approximately one year from now.
Keep the above in mind, no need to constantly check in on the forums, no need to debate patches, no need to debate fm's etc - you'll be a lot happier. CLOD has not been released yet! But in the meantime, we play around with the leaked beta.
