I've been playing several PBEM games with a couple of friends, and in the past month (since applying the latest update for Mac BTS) we're all encountering this annoying problem: Person A plays their turn like normal, sends the save to Person B. Person B opens up the turn (the file name says...

I feel kinda bad making any complaints at all, now that I finally have Beyond the Sword in my hands and can play it. I know Brad and the others who worked on it put a lot of effort in. But the app icon's low quality is driving me nuts. It looks like it was made for OS 9 or something. Has...

I didn't see that specific thread, but that's pretty much what I was expecting at this point. Oh well. Here's hoping for a quick patch soon!

I can confirm some of the problems with Civ4 (both regular and Warlords) on the new iMacs. I've got the 20" iMac (2.4 GHz with the 256 MB Radeon HD 2600), but I'm seeing a lot of artifacts on the screen. Half of the cursor is constantly red, a lot of the leaderheads are choppy, and unit movement...

It's over? *sniff* Nicely done, zeeter! :D

Okay, here's what I'm looking for: I want to have the advanced air and naval warfare features that are offered in Conquests. For now, I don't care about anything else. I tried poking around in some of the mods, but it doesn't seem like any of them have the cruisers or flak units and associated...

I just had the weirdest experience. I'm playing Germany, and I'm in the middle of a protracted war with the Russians. I've been razing their cities because I don't want to bother quelling resistance in their size-20 cities. Therefore, I'm moving my own settlers in to immediately occupy the...

You should be able to just download iChat from http://www.apple.com/ichat/ -- I'm pretty sure they've got the latest version there! ;) EDIT: Drat, it's not there anymore! Sounds like you'll have to do the Software Restore like previously suggested.

I had a very strange (and annoying) thing happen to me, along a similar vein. I was at war with the English, and in an alliance with the Russians had completely kicked them off the continent and left them with one pop-1 city on a remote island. After taking the last continental city, I sued...

So much for the "improving" state of Mac gaming, eh? :rolleyes:

I just had the weirdest thing happen. I was playing the Persians, and the Zulu and the Babylonians were duking it out along my borders. The Zulu captured a city from the Babylonians (and indeed were actually recapturing it for something like the third or fourth time). On the next turn, this...

Lovely artwork there, TheMorpheus, but it would've been nice if you'd credited the source text for that description article and the tech specs. 'Specially since I happened to write them. (Small world, huh? It was just a coincidence I happened across this, me being a Civ3 player too... ;))...

I'm also curious for using armies as defensive/occupation. Usually after I take a city I want to have my army recover to full strength, so I use it to help quell the resistance in said city. But... does the army count as one unit fighting the resistance, or as four?

Virtual PC is effectively useless for any graphics-intensive programs, including and especially games. It's just too slow for that, even on the latest systems.

Didn't we hear this exact same discussion back when PTW came out? As in waiting for projections on the sales before anyone would okay a release? :rolleyes: :cry:
