patches necessary

Hannibal: Rome and Carthage in the Second Punic War is a new and innovative turn-based strategy game that puts you in command of the Carthaginian military during a period of total war over land and sea with the young Roman Republic. With this military juggernaut of the ancient world at your disposal, you will vie for control over Italy, Carthage, Spain and the Mediterranean Sea using a combination of strategic political maneuvering and sheer tactical skill both on land and sea. Play consists of two layers; the first is a strategic layer where you must prudently steer your forces to the destruction of Rome’s army and the ultimate destruction of the Republic and city itself. At your disposal are a variety of unit types and historical commanders from which to form your armies. On the tactical scale, when meeting the enemy in battle, skilled leadership and a knack for war come into play as you use a simple but engaging battle system to best your opponents.

colleagues, just bought the game and am curious - do I need to download a patch or do the games you download from the net include the patches automatically?

Usually you need the patch. It costs them time, money, and trouble to update the game itself. Some do, but a lot of them don't. It's not a big deal. The latest patch is almost always cumulative, so you'd just need that one, but that's not always a given, either. Just keep checking the forums for the games you have. You'll get the latest news there.

The patch for this one is all-inclusive so you only need the latest.
