HAD THIS GAME ON A PC, THEN I WENT TO MAC.THEY SAY THAT IT NEEDS SYSTEM 10.4 OR LATER TO WORK,THEY SHOULD ALSO SAY WHICH THEY DON'T THAT YOU NEED A G5 OR INTEL TO MAKE IT WORK,I HAVE 10.4 WITH A G4. THE BOX SAYS IT BUT THERE DESCRIPTION DOES NOT AND IT SHOULD I HAD TO RETURN IT FOR I HAD NO USE FOR IT .

Can't get through a game because it Crashes
Until they release a patch for the Mac OSX - I would strongly recommend NOT buying this game, as the frequent crashes will leave you very frustrated. The game itself is great, but I haven't been able to finish a game because it keeps crashing. Good luck!

extreme entertainment
this product is hard to put down once u start. the different scenarios add a fun challenge to the game. i defiantly recommend this to anyone who enjoys strategy and turn base style games.

Great game poor port
This is a fantastic game, but the third party port of this game leaves something to be desired. Only recently has the latest game revision become supported, but the latest expansion is not. Worse, the game suffers from crashing (mean-time to crash seems to be around 1-2 hours), poor info graphs (compared to the PC version), and a buggy world-view.
Bottom line: It's playable on Mac... it's just not equal to the PC version at all. Also, it seems to crash mainly when playing in multi-player.

Won't Run...
So I bought this, assuming it would run on my MacPro. Apparently, that's not the case. Every time I attempt to download the 1.74 update, the game hard-freezes about 1/2 way through the download. Not only that, the game requires you to insert the DVD before playing! What is this, 1995?!? You'd think a dual-Xeon machine with 6GB RAM would have no problem running the game...
And why is there no download for the 1.74 patch? I can download 1.61c, but 1.74 requires you to use the in-game downloader. Very annoying! Not only that, the support system is convoluted. I can't possibly be the only person to have this problem! If Aspyr support doesn't answer my problem soon, I'm sending this one back to Amazon.
I'll post again if anything changes.
The game crashes often, for some reason, so I eventually stopped playing it. Perhaps by now it's updated to the point where it will play. I just can't get excited about playing it anymore.
