i received my copy of civ 3 today, installed it and began to run it only to find out it needs a minimum resolution of higher than my ibook (800x600) can meet.... frustrating, because my system meets all the published requirements for the game.

does anyone know of a workaround? or am i just screwed?

I'm afraid you're screwed :( Shelve it until you get another machine I suppose.

me too. draw sprocket apparently just can't deal with my ibook rev a.
haven't they figures something out to get it to run yet? :confused:

That's ok.. I found out the other night that the editor (or at least the PC editor....) Won't run on my Dell OptiPlex GM+ It only displays at 800 x 600 with the current monitor attached to it (it's a server) I transfer things to it to edit scenarios until the Mac Editor is out. I can't quite see the whole editor when editing rules though.. bummer.
