Strange but thanks for verifying it, I will correct that shortly, perhaps I missed a intermediate update about two months ago then as several of those files are dated around the 28th to 29th March.
(I should go trough the entire folder and upload anything newer than the oldest available file just to cover everything once and for all but the whole lua and xml loose file environment and multiple folder structure has put it off somewhat plus the several hundred MB resulting update file.)
Interesting, I wonder if I missed them or not, might have to re-download that archive to check but as I sort the entire folder trough a search and grab all file matches there's seldom a issue though for the first couple of patches I did take the files manually come to think of it.
EDIT:
Hmm... does it include 0-day update for Civ5?
For reference, SKIDROW has those files as part of its crack. That's why sometimes people mess up their game, by forgetting to apply it first, before taking any of SKIDROW update releases, which do not include those files.
Just wait. All this Facebook social gaming crap will crush and burn soon. The market is more and more saturated and people who play are not really hardcore gamers. It will collapse...
All DLC should be included as with how Steam works with these sort of games.
(Several of the so called Steamworks titles get the DLC specific files with released updates and just call the Steam API for user verification and then unlocks the content if this matches, needs either a emulator or a modified .dll or so I think it was it worked.)
(As a example Magicka had a 2MB update a hour ago likely adding the Nippon/Samurai stuff - http://se.gamersgate.com/DD-MAGICKAJDLC/magicka-nippon-dlc and late last week Shogun 2 updated and added the Ikko clan stuff in the process, not always the case of course, larger DLC tend to be separate downloads so it varies, Borderlands and say Fallout NV could be used as examples here.)
Thanks but that's the same old version from last year I already downloaded.
Not sure but read somewhere that the SDK tool gets secret updates once in a while without any patch log.
Maybe someone nice can compare the file dates of the version from kind hehemann with his or her legit installed steam version.
Maybe steam only provides the old version as download and sends later updates into the installation folders. Then we would need a file pack like kind JBeckman frequently provides.
A little problem: I re-installed from scratch in this order, Civ V + skidrow folder + skidrow update 7 + JB Files (the latest one 300mbish).
I tried to run the game but it doesn't open so I'm assuming the exes arent cracked so I DL 3DMGAME-CIV5.v1.0.1.275.Patch.And.Crack-3DM and copied the 2 exes from there. DX11 one works fine but the DX9 one crashes.... what do I do?
Happy Friday everyone! Friday is already an awesome day of the week, but I am here to make this one just that much better, and the way I'm going to do that is by giving you the full patch notes for the upcoming patch.
As has started to become tradition, these notes come with an intro straight from the devs' own mouth (well, email client):

Greetings from the Civ V team! Another couple of months have passed, and the team has been busy continuing to refine and improve the game based on your feedback. Aside from the already-announced additions of Hot-Seat and Replays, an entire balance pass has been integrated into the game. New features, gameplay systems, and Diplomacy modifiers have all been added. AI refinements continue as well, and the AI is now better than ever at challenging the player. As we move into summer, we’ll continue to bring new and exciting additions to Civ V, including improvements to Multiplayer, and other core areas of the game. Your continued engagement and feedback is what drives the team to keep working, and to make Civ V everything that our fans expect, and for that, we thank you.
And before anyone asks, the ETA is still the same as before: late June or possibly early July.
[NOTES]
Pacing has received a large amount of work. Expect to have more of a challenge managing your empire at higher difficulty levels than you did before. Consider dropping a difficulty level if you have problems.
Existing saves will work correctly. However, the balance pass may make your existing happiness lower than expected when loading into your existing save post-patch.
[UI]
Civilopedia now available in the Main Menu (under “Other”)
Replay is now available at the end of the game, and through the main menu. You can choose Map, Graphs, and turn-by-turn. Only games played post-patch will apply.
Great People progress UI addition (upper-left Info Corner UI).
Combat preview for Aircraft UI addition.
Fixed aircraft UI issue causing the aircraft selection UI to duplicate itself when rebasing aircraft.
When loading save game files, you can now order the list by name, or last modified.
[DIPLOMACY]
Made backstab routine more transparent (the dialog will clearly state that they are backstabbing you).
AI now remembers when it has been nuked, for a permanent diplomatic penalty.
AI now recognizes a player that captured their capital for a permanent diplomatic penalty.
End declaration of friendship as soon as war is declared (so can't later get a notification that it has expired).
AI remembers if you satisfied one of their requests (positive modifier, decays over time, based on value of items granted).
AI remembers if you fought against a common foe (positive modifier, decays over time, based on damage done to the common foe).
Track trades between players and allow that to positively influence relationships (the better the deal for the AI, the stronger the modifier). Particularly useful for bribing a hostile AI.
[AI]
Rebalanced AI flavors and strategies for unit training to improve AI army composition and build choices.
Allow the AI to consider Pikeman units for offensive roles when they can't build Swordsman or Longswordsman.
Allow Alexander and Darius to consider Hoplites and Immortals for offensive roles in early game.
AI players may now use a Great General in early rushes on higher difficulties.
Modified flavor tags for Atomic Bomb and Nuclear Missile so AI builds them only when it decides it specifically wants Nukes.
Block City States from building carriers, atomic weapons.
Strategies for building mobile units now persist into Modern era to help AI decisions for when to build tanks and modern armor.
Dampen early game Grand Strategies to give the AI time to expand (AI were sometimes stuck in a single city until late in the game).
Victory adjustments to AI behaviors, including alternate victory paths as “back-ups” (for example, building the Apollo Program, even if they are not going for a Spaceship victory).
Revise code calculating recommended army size (using smaller armies if the threat is low).
Correct issue that was causing late-game continent-bound AI’s to over-build units intending to invade, and never properly execute the amphibious invasion.
Scale recommended army sizes based on difficulty level.
AI grand strategy and flavor weighting balance pass.
AI policy choice weighting balance pass.
AI tech choice weighting balance pass.
[GAMEPLAY]
Player is now given the option to return a CS worker that they free from barbarians.
Roads under captured cities no longer charge maintenance.
Machu Picchu no longer destroyed when capturing a city containing Machu Picchu.
[MULTIPLAYER]
Multiplayer AI is now consistent with Single Player AI.
Hot-Seat is now available through the multiplayer menu.
You can have as many humans playing as available slots in the game.
Password protection is built in.
All maps, including purchased and user-created, are available to play in Hot-Seat.
While play-by-email is not yet implemented, we did include an in-between turn saving option for those that want to play via email.
