Could we get a Mac Mod List?

[FlamingCheeze]

Although this is a small forum, I don't see any list of mods compatible with the Mac. If there's one in here, please tell me the name. Because I am sure there isn't though, could all of you who know a mod post here? I'm sick of power bars, trainers, scenarios, maps, and units not working on my computer. Undoubtedly, there must be a couple of you who feel this way about the downloads section of the Civ forums.

Hi, welcome.

There's a sticky thread right at the top of this forum that covers most of the known information on this subject. Remember that there are not a lot of Civ3 players in the world these days. and very few of them run the Mac versions. So you will be very unlikely to see any comprehensive testing of all the mods out there.

You can forget power bars and trainers, as these usually take advantage of Windows-specific programming techniques to get inside the running Civ3 code in memory. No one to my knowledge has done the equivalent for the Mac.

Frankly, if you are really keen on mods, then you should seriously consider running the Windows version of Civ3 Complete in a Windows virtual machine, using Parallels Desktop or VMWare Fusion. Of course you need an Intel-based Mac to do that. You *may* be able to get it running in Crossover Games to save the cost of installing Windows, but I still have to do the testing on that.
