This is amazing. It loads up Huge maps in literally seconds. Regenerate map takes 11 seconds. It's solid as can be.

OTS: Aspyr Media still has not announced it officially, and likely will not until the very day it ships.
Marketing geniuses, aren't they?
OK, I'll likely get myself in trouble but here goes: we haven't announced it officially yet because we haven't gotten the clearance to do so from our partners.
I'm pretty sure this is incorrect. Back when Warlords came out, I initially didn't get it because I was holding out for BTS. The reasoning was that Vanilla+BTS provided everything Vanilla+Warlords+BTS did except for the Warlords-specific scenarios (Rise of Rome, Vikings, etc.). I can't find any of my references from then, though.All warlords enhancements are not included in BtS as far as I know. For example, Warlords introduced the Warlord unit, but I don't think it appears in BtS.

Note that you could buy Civ4 Gold for Mac and get both vanilla and Warlords. I haven't checked, but this may be almost as cheap as buying Civ4 alone these days.
I would also point out that when Aspyr took over the ports for Civ3 Complete for Mac and then Civ4 for Mac & Warlords, they were much faster and higher quality than the first company that did Civ3 for Mac (sorry I forget the name of the company).
Kind of bummed it's 3.17 instead of 3.19. Anyone care to venture a guess as to how long it might be before they get it compatible with 3.19? Will there be a 'user created patch' or something to make the games compatible? This is my first foray into the Mac version of the game, so I'm curious as to how it compares with Windows in this regard.
