Indeed. The One True Way (TM) is to buy games preordered with the Collector's Edition bumpf at $100, buy each and every piece of DLC at full price upon release (including costumes that solely aesthetic for $5) and rage at anyone on the internet who dareth criticise the work of the One True Developer(TM).

If you do not adhere to this One True Way(TM), you shall be labelled forthwith a heretic, a thief, and a non-gamer, and thou shalt be cast out of our circle of worthy customers.

The industry hath spoken.

Patches-scrolls is great - been using it for years,

The patches for the first game are there - set the page display to 'show first 100' (there are 68 patches and the default display only shows 25)

LOL! My bad. I've been also using for years as well, yet I still make such a newbie mistake... There indeed are 1.03 patches for the first game as well.

I just wish they (P&S) would add some short description or separate readme file with their downloads. Many times all you seem to get is an exe file, with no description whatsoever what it does, what it fixes etc. Yet, on some other sites the same patch has a detailed description.

But, the main thing is that there is one place offering a vast collection of PC game patches, even for ancient games. I fear the day P&S would close, I have no idea if there are other as reliable patch sites.

That's some good news. At least I can download those patches and store them somewhere to keep them at hand.

Next, I'd like to know if e.g. Rise of Nations (Gold) and RoN2: Rise of Legends have the latest patches as offline files, in case the publisher at some point stops delivering them digitally. I think RoN Gold auto-patcher fetched some updates online last I checked it, but Patches_Scrolls seems to have very little for either games:

Rise of Nations patch 1.03.08

Rise of Legends patch #1 (hungarian)

I have no idea whether those are the only, and latest, patches for each game, e.g. RoN2 didn't get any other update but for the localized Hungarian version???

Hunt goes on...
