I thought it might help if we posted our Mac specs and the score we get from the Civ 6 benchmark option (main screen right below tutorial). This might help folks that are wondering if their rig will run the game or if they're on the fence about buying it because it's technically below the minimum options.
So that we're comparing apples to apples:
From the main menu, pick game options and then graphics. Turn the two sliders to minimum. Click advanced options and make sure all options are unchecked. Post your specs and score below and I'll update the thread. If there's anything I'm missing or suggestions, please let me know.
*** Edit ***
Added a late game save (turn 393) with a fair amount going on. DL, press end turn, use a stop watch or 1 Mississippi it and report turn time. Hopefully there's still some optimization coming but it was much slower than it seemed while playing. I used the lowest res again.
*** Edit ***
Played around with quick move and quick combat this morning. Turning both of them on reduced my turn time from 55 seconds to 23 seconds. Didn't notice any change in turn time with autosaves (the other factor mentioned in a windows thread) but I'm running on an SSD so that may be the difference. Listed times below if anyone is interested and wants to post theirs also.
