Yep. I've got a Microsoft soft-bill cap found along the street-side you can chow-down on.
This is front-page news worthy, eh.
Hurrey!

Yeah, well. I'd rather see them finish the release page before I hit the front page here! There isn't even a release date yet!

Hmm, interesting. I probably will go in favor of the Windows Version though. (Way more mods.)
Unless Aspyr can pull an SDK that works with Windows .dlls out of their @$$, I won't be buying it.

Shouldn't us faithful types here be the beta testers?

If you click on the system requirements, it seems to be legitimately intended for mac...

This is good news... Looks like I'm back to one more turn.

Even though I play Civ IV now via Bootcamp, I am very happy for the mac community!
Although, I must say that I am rather surprised there is this little excitement. Maybe this should be advertised more?
Edit: Maybe put it on the Home page, stickied or post the link in every thread mentioning when the release was going to be?

I think most of the hype for a mac version of BTS has died down after Aspyr waited, oh, 2 years to say they are going to a finally port the game. I for one probably won't buy the Mac version, unless I'm feeling especially generous. 
(Or if we ever get an SDK!)

What would you suggest we publicise? If you know when the release is going to be, please do tell!
Let's be clear. There has been no announcement by Aspyr. All we have is an unlinked and incomplete web page under construction, and an ESRB rating entry.

It seems that they've added some more things, but really not much more info...
