And, none of the balance/bug issues with the Mercenaries brought up in this thread were fixed: https://forums.galciv3.com/485260/page/1/

Guys, this is low-hanging, low effort, non-controversial, obvious fruit for fixing.

Also, being able to Diff the XML between releases would be sooooooo much simpler if we could have it in a DVCS repository somewhere. It's hard to do it right now by myself, because it's very difficult to figure out which files go expressly with which DLC (checking and unchecking DLC availablity through Steam leaves lots of stuff lying around that's hard to figure out if it's really "deleted").

Not to mention that it would make it a lot easier for folks to submit actual Diff Patches to you, lowering your effort to fix a lot of minor (yet important) stuff. Like Tooltip text. Or the Mercenaries stuff above.
