Age of Empires III patched

Just as successful emperors need the latest technology to conquer foes, digital despots need the most current version of their empire-building game to survive. The version 1.04 patch for Age of Empires III has been released by Ensemble Studios and is now available for download from GameSpot. The 12.3MB file updates the autopatch process and addresses multiplayer issues. On the game's official Web site, Ensemble warns that several player-created mods have been shown to cause problems with version 1.04. The developer also notes that the ESO servers will undergo maintenance on Wednesday and could be down for approximately 30 minutes.
