What is the difference between this and Yitzis patch? #3

As seen here: https://alphacentauri2.info/index.php?action=downloads;cat=2 Which of these patches should be used on a fresh SMAC+SMACX GOG installation?

Your latest patch version seems more recent. https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Sid_Meier%27s_Alpha_Centauri#Unofficial_Patches This mentions a couple of patches that one could install.

I'm currently playing with your latest released patch and PRACX installed on top of it multiplayer, it seems to work, but some texts seem incorrect.

When comparing the helpx files, a lot of text seems to have been deleted? Was that done because the file could only be a max size and more text was added?

This page https://alphacentauri2.info/wiki/Yitzi%27s_patch mentions a list of bugfixes that don't seem to be present in your patch. Since the other patch overwrites the EXE, I'm not sure in which order to install these, or if they are properly compatible at all. In the name of all players that just want to enjoy an improved experience, please collect all bugfixes and the like in one community patch, if possible. But maybe there is something important about having multiple patches that I'm not getting at the moment.

I'm also confused about which patches to use :-( Maybe only Yitzi 3.5d and PRACX?
