Yeah, me too. I often find myself watching them play more than I play. They have different styles, so it's fun to learn different strategies. Hvala lijepa Bibor and thanks MadDjinn!

Thanks. I actually haven't launched the game yet since the patch. I'll look for it.

No mongol DLC? I see Babylonian and Spain/Inca for sale. The Mongol DLC was free to PC users in Oct. Has it been pulled from Steam? Anyone know?

The red dots are an artifact from the original PC code. Aspyr tech support sent me this email. This has also been addressed in another thread. As I understand it, 2K hasn't fixed the problem on the PC side. http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=409737 "Thank you for contacting Aspyr...

Hi, Yeah I see them too. It's an artifact from the PC version. I emailed Aspyr and they responded with this: "Thank you for contacting Aspyr Technical Support! The issue of red dots appearing randomly on the map is legacy (occurs within the original PC code from which the game is ported). We...

I very much agree. I've played on prince and warlord and aside from my Arab civ getting lots of luxury resources near my cities, I had almost no strategic resources the entire game. On my other games I can say there has been a lack of resources to the point that it is very hard to actually play...

Got mine today, a day early! In the end, Amazon wasn't completely crazy. Going to load it now. And I will report how it plays on my specs at some point. Happy CIVing to all!

Amazon shipped mine today and it will be delivered by wed july 29!!! yay! though, not as cool as the people who are going to get it before me. :)

Hi all, I ordered something (a promise?) from Amazon today. But, my ship date says August 10-19, not July 27 like gfeier. Oh well, I'm sure it can change, or will change, and I've waited long enough that a bit more waiting won't hurt. Like the collective wisdom here advises: don't put much in...

Hi, I have the newest iMac 2.4 Ghz, 1 gig RAM, top video card and with the newest OS X Leopard update plus the new Warlords patch, Warlords plays like I always expected it should: just about normal. I went from 1st gen iMac to this 2 months ago. Warlords was very very buggy on the old iMac...

hi, just some more anecdotal evidence: I have a new iMac top o' line 20" 1gig RAM and the game (warlords latest version) runs so much better than on my old iMac G5 1st gen. It better! I too have the weird effect when the longer I play the units grow darker and darker shades of black...

Hi, I have a iMac G5 1.8 GHz, 1gig RAM, and the GeForce 5200 and I think my game is extremely playable, even on large maps with lots of rivals. However, I keep the graphics on low. I think that with only 512 RAM you will suffer playability. I would advise, as beamup said, to increase your...

Hi, To second that, I have a iMac G5 1.8 GHz 1gig ram 10.4.7 and I love the game. I think it plays great. Even better after the beta patch. Get it and Im sure you'll have fun.

Hi Brad, Thanks for your update (and work). I wanted to alert you a post of mine, where I describe my experience. Maybe it can add to your data set. my machine: iMac G5 1.8GHz 1gig RAM GeForce5200 10.4.7 Having fun, with only a few problems. nauticus...

Well, first I must state that Im no serious gamer (just civ3 and sim city 4) so my reference point to "fast" and "smooth" are based on those games. For me, the screen scrolls as I imagine it should (it is a little jumpy but not choppy and the graphics maintain their integrity). Maybe on a more...
