First I'd like to say thanks to DanQ and Mark G for supporting a Macintosh forum/page! Now if only AOL would follow suit...

I would also like to encourage users not to use this forum to bash each other! As a chemist, I have had to learn to manipulate Windows systems (currently in love/hate relationship with NT) at work, and thanks to my wifes preferences, Macs at home. While both camps could pro and con the respective OS and support, the real truth is that it comes down to what do you want to do and how much effort are you willing to expend.

The reason that I harangued Dan and Mark for a Mac forum is that the Mac OS and the Civ2 MPG utilize very different code form the PC, and as a result the machine setup, bugs, ect are different. For example, the setup for net or LAN play uses different (but similar) software and needs to be optimized to avoid crashes and stuff. Also the search for Mac scenarios might be easier if Mac users could query in one place. Recently several questions regarding the MPG editors in the Mac version were scattered over three different threads/folders. Now, maybe all three members could find the answer in one place; I responded to all three questions!

Thanks again for the forum! Mac folks let's make use of it!

Okay, I give up. Where can I find the patch and is there a "Release Notes" doc. detailing the changes? I looked and could not find any mention of a new patch anywhere.

Thanks for the note, berzerker.
This will be made available from ACS shortly.
Our CivII 'for the Mac' site is currently in the process of adding helpers to its staff, so watch for it in our "general" CivII section.

Smash, This is exactly why we need the Mac webpage updated and maintained! (are you out there Romulo?) That way if they went searching for "Macintosh+civilization" they would find us! That is the way I first found APS.

MarkG/DanQ, Is is possible for you to contact gameranger and exchange site links? Afterall, we have already mentioned them numerous times on the site, plus MacSoft and MicroProse recognise Dan as the "Emperor"! (see the new credits on the patch). By the way, where IS Romulo?

Heck, what am I thinking? What we need is a link on the MacSoft site!

Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

you can unfortunately consider Romero more or less gone, which means that we dont have someone to update the civ2-mac section....

as for gameranger, any contact info?

MarkG, Well as I often say when profoundly disappointed...BUMMER! I was really hoping that Romulo was going to pick up the ball and resume maintenance on the Mac site. I'll send you and DanQ an email regarding a Mac site.

Yes, the Mac page hasn't been updated in months, and even then... it's organized in a really strange way. There are pages I found only by accident, & later had the hardest time finding again. There are countless links that lead nowhere at all. I looked in vain for a link to the downloads that MarkG told us about last week. Argh!

... and this is THE Civ2 Mac site!!!

Heavy sigh....I know how you feel. I truly believe that "games" (read as increasingly more demanding applications and graphics) drive the computer industry. I think that Apple has also realized this. That is why Macintosh gaming support is vital to the Macintosh platform. My wife is fond of saying the only thing that distinguishes one business from another is customer service. Thus, one of the best ways to support the Mac is to support the users of Mac applications and games; few people putz with Excel but countless people are willing to spend hours with their favorite game. Toward this end I am committed to bring an informative and up to date Mac webpage to the ACS. I hope that Romulo will be willing to continue his involvement with ACS with our support and assistance.
