Civ3: Conquests for Mac? (Will it include PtW civs as well?)

[sabrewolf]

that's what i meant... i'll most likely only buy a powerbook IF conquests comes out. everything else already exists for mac

Hey, sabrewolf! I see you're like me — yeah, don't buy a new Macintosh unless Civ Conquests comes out. Otherwise, get an el cheapo PC to fully enjoy the Civ III gaming experience.

I've got plans for my savings — a new entertainment center, HD television, DVD-R/RW, PS2, XBox ...

hi ,

, well get a dual OS ; THATS way cheaper , .....

have a nice day

uhm, win32 uses CICS and mac has RISC processors. there's no chance to solve this with a dual boot, sorry

hi ,

you now how many comps in the world run with a dual boot , ......

so there is a solution , ......

have a niceday

now wait, you're mixing something up. i know there is dual boot, my computers have that too, but...

mac OS uses a completely different processor architecture than windows 32bit systems. so you can't combine these two.

of course, you can put linux or bsd on either platform, but there isn't any ptw/c3c for linux.

so in the end i can't have macOS && c3c on the same computer.

q.e.d.

hi ,

one example ; an E-mac , push the power button , screen opens , small program lets you chose , win98SE or OS X , ..... if you want to play C3C , you choose win98 , that simple , at least in the office , the same with the G towers , dont ask how since the systemsop is away on holidays but its that simple , ......

have a nice day

[sabrewolf]

now that would really be interesting!

are you sure it isn't an emulation of win98se? if so, it's probably too slow to play and definatly isn't dual boot.
if not, then i'd be interested in how he did that

hi ,

well since no turn takes longer then 2 min ( average is one min ) it does seem to be a complete full install , and since the comp(s) need about 4 min after the choice it does seems that they load the OS completely after the choice is been made , ....

oh and its a she

panag posted the complete way of doing it last year , but it seems to be gone , ....

however there are some others who have a dual install , only to play CIV , .....

have a nice day

This is either a myth or just isn't available in the states. I've posted my evaluation of the only way to emulate windows: Virtual PC, and the lack of its ability to run CivIII on older machines.

This also smells of tech-talk so maybe post a link about it here and start a thread in off-topic.

hi ,

years ago there was a small problem with games , in particular the hospital has MAC's and the games ( most of them ) where not for that platform , ...... so after some speeches , talk and loads of research we found some one in the office , ...... right under our nose , that particular person turn out to own a phd or two ( or is it three ) from caltech and a couple other univ's , ....

dont ask any details but its just a simple as to choose from at start up , .... ( sorry no screenshots are allowed true the system due to security )

as for thread into the OT , well there wa&s a thread ones , with the complete explantion and downloads etc , ..... however it got lost , .....

and why should it go into the OT , especially when the main reason is to play games , in particular CIV , .....

have a nice day
