Thanks for the specs, Xyth! I haven't had a chance to play any Civ version in years, but I just ran across the trailer for the new game. I had a sinking feeling when I checked and didn't see OSX under the supported platforms, then remembered to check here for news on the mac side.

Well, this might finally get me on Snow Leopard...

Just curious if anyone has time lines for civ 3 and civ 4 development? I know they might not be predictive of the Civ5 cycle, but it would be fun to speculate about a release date...

This was me as well. I found it humorous that I had discovered every religious tech and civic, and was running free religion before I had any religion in any of my cities.

Adventurer Start (Mac) Domination win, 1894, ~77k points, ~68k with Adventurer Penalty I'm pretty horrible at this game so a win on Diety was surprising. After scouting in the empty wilderness I realized that we were alone, and tried to expand quickly without totally killing my...

I love the idea of winds and currents, especially if it affects trade and resources. It could favor triangular trade routes around an ocean basin rather than simple bi-directional exchanges of goods. This could make the city-states relevant too, if they could provide an important node for your...

Well, I won my first BtS noble game after reading the guide, so I guess that's an endorsement :goodjob: I played a random map with random leader, and ended up with Germany. Win was diplo around 1960, and I was pretty close to launching the spaceship too. In hindsight I could have won a lot...

Thanks for the guide. This is really useful to have enough detail to implement a general strategy. I tend to find the more advanced and specialized guides hard to understand if I don't understand the "default". one request- I may have missed this, but if this is most appropriate for a given...

Welp- this was my first gotm since GOTM 15. I wanted to give this competition finally getting BtS, and the new macBuffy release. Having not really picked up Civ for at least a year (and not being that good at it before, plus never really having played bts), I figured this would be a quick...

I was able to load the Adventurer start for botm 27. Looks like everything is working fine. Thanks Alan!

15" macbook pro, 10.5.8, 4gb ram, geforce 8600. Seems to run pretty well

For those in the know- does this sounds like it will have any bearing on running in native OSX? or are these only different hardware variants of win machines? Thanks.

wow- I'm amazed I was even missed over there at GOTM, given how terrible I am at this game! I haven't played much civ over the past couple of years. Kind of on a roguelike kick now- a little easier to pick up and put down during my commute or while watching something dumb on TV. I did just buy...

Don't be sorry. It's not like it was in the title or anything... Assuming there is a mac version at some point, I'll try to run it on whichever mac laptop I have at that time.

Would be nice if these city-states cropped up around specific map features- maybe controlling water passages, narrow land bridges, or rare resources.
