.1.332 Patch and Challenge 1 troubles

The June 2011 patch (.1.332) is out! For those of you brave souls who have started Challenge 1 but have not finished it, please be warned that your happiness (and every other superpower's) will take a nose-dive to the earth core, especially at the late stage of the game when most civilizations own 10+ cities.

My sincere recommendation is to delay the new patch until you have finished the challenge.

But I know most of you own the legitimate copy of the game, just like me! And it is too late to do anything about it since you are lazy (just like me!) and left "automatic update" checked on Steam. Now you are stuck in the valley of unhappiness! The only solution I know that works is to install the game (you might have to download a *cough* copy to avoid Steam) in a separate folder. Update that game version to .275. And play from that copy.

Or you may as well continue to play in the valley of unhappiness. Your production is miserable and you can barely launch any military campaign. You have barbarians plaguing the empire and you can't fight them properly... On the bright side, since the Level 9 AIs have no happiness cheats, they are just as unhappy as you (even more, because they must have got more cities than you. HAHA!)
