the update is running well on both the 1.8 Mhz macbook(1gbram) and the new imac.
I also find the AI improvements very noticeable and enjoy the more swift unitmove experience.
I would have appreciated the Bts technology trade feature a lot tho!!!
And this must have been the best German translated update info I´ve ever had.
I wonder if spore will be out before bts for mac

2.13 is working well for the most part on my imac (2.33 core 2 duo, 2 GB ram). However, every couple of hours the game crashes to desktop, and I can't find any pattern. Also, three times, the game messed up my sound with a loud BANG, then no sound after that. The BANG scared the bajeezuz out of me at 1am!

Same here:
(1) runs fine and improvements appear to be improvements
(2) bizarre random crashes, from the menu screen to clicking on some random feature in-game
(3) twice the sound has disappeared after I left the game running then woke it up later to play.

Sorry, what's Spore and Cider?
Spore is an awesome new game from wil Wright. http://www.spore.com/
Cider is, when all the semantics are concluded, an emulator to let Intel Mac owners run Windows games. Early reports are that it sucks as mightily as you'd expect gaming to suck using an emulator. http://www.macworld.com/article/52176/2006/08/cider.html
It may be the demise of gaming on the Mac. It's certainly the demise of MY game playing as I won't buy a game that uses Cider.

Well, I finally got around to downloading the patch ... process went smoothly, finished in 10 to 15 minutes (cable modems rock at 2:30 in the morning). No issues installing the patch, either.
Now all I have to do is find the time to actually play a game of Civ!

I've played a couple games since patching. It still crashes, but crashing doesn't seem to be either more or less common than before. I haven't had the graphics glitch where all the buildings turn very dark since patching, but that seemed to have a direct relationship to playing on larger worlds with lots of cities (so having more data for the poor game to keep track of) and I've been lying on small worlds.

You wouldnt believe how messed up some translations are. Some companies only seem to use babelfish or something similar and it often ridicules the meaning big time. This one was flawless.

A German fan produced an alternative German translation because the Firaxis one was so bad. Firaxis have taken advantage of a lot of fan-created material in the recent releases, and I imagine that's one example.

one of the classic mal-translations ( in AMIGA KARATE) translated "joystick" literally, basically calling it a "pleasure rod", so whoever was responsible for the German version did really well, thx!

Were you referring to a Commodore Amiga? I loved my Amiga computer back when I was in high school! That's the computer I first played Civ1 on

Alan, I have not sent any crash reports to Aspyr - there aren't any generated. Or at least, I do not get any window prompting me that a report was generated, and do I want to Send it anywhere.

Downloaded (in under 5 mins) and installed the Warlords 2.13 patch and it is running absolutely sweet as a nut on my iMac Intel Core 2, no complaints here, no crashes after 6 - 7 hours playing

Cider isn't exactly an emulator... what Cider does is it allows windows code to run on a non windows environment. It's a set of shared libraries and development tools.
It's based off WINE (Which stands for WINE is not an emulator).
Performance problems are a slight factor, since direct 3d is supposed to be running off the video card itself and I'm not certain how Cider adapts this to OpenGL or if it in fact allows the Direct 3d code to go straight to the card, either way: Yes Cider most likely does impede performance,but about the same as most ports of mac games unless done properly (and rare is that).
