Fabrice Cambounet wrote a lengthy post on the official forum after receiving a series of private messages from concerned players. It's mostly a clarification on the communications (or the lack of) between fans and the publisher, the patching process, and the status of the features that have been promised and not yet delivered. He explains that simultaneous turns and the map editor were never planned to be in the gold master: the editor showing up as a game feature on the Ubisoft US Web site was an error. However, both the editor and simultaneous turns will be delivered later. Fabrice also says that the remaining problems with multiplayer are being worked on ("what is remaining on MP is due to personal configurations"), and the game's artificial intelligence is being refined. Despite the initial delay with the patches, he still plans to release patches on a monthly basis. Read the whole thing all here.
