Many Paradoxians are asking for this patch to be used in and how use the patch.

Hi, yes i know. I have been part of the team since version 1.6, but it would have been a good thing for customers to have the opportunity to download a patch from gamers-gate or steam.

Re: AOD patch 1.8
Ah got it! Unfortunately with the sales partners there's a direct link between sales and admin efforts allocated. That is one of the main reasons we have moved into making things like patching etc more streamlined for our newer releases. Since the base game is not really selling much, they will also not allocate time to update patches, in particular for a 2,5 year old game. So on our end we need to make sure patches are available in some form from us.
