Aztecs for Mac Version

[TheBoulderite]

Hello, everybody!

I am interested in trying the Game of the Month, which has you play as the Aztec civilization. Everyone should have Montezuma by now through either the pre-order or the expiration of the 90-day period from when the game was released. However, I do not have the option to play as the Aztecs. (I am on the App Store version, by the way.) So, I have three questions. Am I doing something wrong? If not, is there a special thing you have to do in order to get the civ? And finally, are the Aztecs even available for users playing the App Store version?

Thank you all!

Aztecs are already available on the Steam version I believe, but the App Store version requires a patch first. I asked Aspyr about it on Twitter, they said they don't have an exact date but it's coming. Apparently.

Hi

The App Store version usually lags behind the Steam release because there's an additional certification step required by apple. There's no indication in the AppStore that the Aztecs are included. In fact, it may not have had the current patch yet. What Firaxis version number does your copy indicate? (not the Aspyr version).

Firaxis version number? I'm sorry, I'm not sure what you mean.

Right down in the bottom left corner of the main menu screen that you see when you click Continue in the splash screen, there's a version number. On my Steam copy it looks like this, in very small font size:

Version 1.0.0.56 is the current Windows version, and the Aztecs were released when this patch came out. The Steam Mac copy is also now at this version.

I suspect your Mac AppStore copy will have 1.0.0.38 followed by a different build number. Version 1.0.0.38 was the original release version on Mac and Windows, and you will need to wait for the AppStore to get the new version.

I have the Mac AppStore version and it's the exact same version number: 1.0.0.56 (144924). Just no Aztecs yet. Aspyr said on Twitter that the MAS version will get the Aztecs, but they don't have an ETA yet.

Me: When will the Aztec be available for the Mac AppStore version of Civ6? Already available for all other versions.
Aspyr: Don't have an exact date for y'all, but it's on its way.​

Thanks, that's what I wanted to know. Interesting that it needs a patch. That will presumably change the version number again
