How do I install Civ4 on a Mac?

[ANightDude]

I have the game and it obviously worked perfectly on my old PC, but I really want to play it on my new Mac. So how do I install it? I put it in and after that, I'm lost as to how to install it. Please help.

you need a mac version

Yep. Aspyr made the mac version of Civ. Warlords and BTS are both available as well.

Cheapest I found it was through amazon, though if you did a direct download you might get it cheaper. (I wanted the disc's so I could easily put it on both macs that I have though).

Like Paw, I prefer to have the disc version. I got my local Apple dealer (not an Apple Inc. outlet) to order it for me. If you want it the cheapest way and don't care about having the disc, you can buy it online from Steam. If you want to use the same disc that you used on your PC, you have to install Windows under one of the emulators, assuming you are using Leopard or Snow Leopard OSX.

Its pretty cheap on Steam (You can get the complete edition for 10$ sometimes), and it works on both Mac and PC.

hmm.. really? can you post a link? For $10 I'd buy, but I can only find it on Steam for $20 for vanilla, another $20 for BtS (and if you want the scenarios specific to Warlords, that's another $10). So $40 for the steam version so I can play on my Mac.

Personally, I have bootcamp set up with Windows XP so I'll play there. Especially as I'll be buying 5 in ten days. Through Steam... so I can get the Mac version when it eventually becomes available.

That was the summer sale i think ($10). It's $40 now.
