In fact, Civ games are typically released for Macs. And that happens much later than the Windows release. Not getting any new games quickly is what you subscribe to when buying a mac

They never released the C3 expansions for Mac. Given that Apple's changing architectures, even, Firaxis might just ditch Macs entirely.Comment

Even if Civ IV for the Mac does come out, you'd probably have to wait several months to get it.Comment

Unless Apple buys Firaxis

I think that's slightly less likely than the windows executable, through sheer chance, working perfectly on a Mac

Not sure if an Intel Mac will do Windows any better."And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country.

According to news posted on the Civ IV section:
CivIV`s minimum and recommended system requirements are also revealed officially for the first time. The current min[imum] spec[ification] is a 1 GHz Pentium [III] with 256 MB RAM and a video card that supports hardware T[ransform and] L[ighting (T&L)]. We haven’t really worked out a recommended spec[ification] yet, but I imagine having 512MB of RAM, a P[entium IV], and a recent graphics card... would probably do the trick.
It's not different from the requirements for Pirates, so I guess it is fine - at least for me, considering that Pirates runs well on my system.
I watched you fall. I think I pushed.Comment

hum, my laptop has integrated Radeon IGP 320M, 64 MB, total 512. It has no T&L. Processor is 2800 XP-M. What gives, the game does not play at all or it seesaws my nerves?Comment

It appears my old GeForce2 Ultra supports TL.

How to find out if TL is supported by a graphics card?Comment
-
For instance, Google up your graphics card and see its specifications. As the news item on our Civ4 section says:
To determine whether or not one`s video card is T&L enabled, one must first know their card adapter and chip name and then comptently research its capabilities online using a search engine such as Google. To make this initial determination:
1) Right-click on a blank part of the desktop and click `Properties`.
2) From the `Settings` tab of this window, left-click on the `Advanced` button.
3) Click on the `Adapter` tab.
4) Note the name of the adapter type and chip name for researching.Solver, WePlayCiv Co-Administrator

Thanks for the help, but seeing 5000+ links when doing a search on my graphics card statistics is a bit daunting.Comment
