not much mac stuff has happened recently, and with the terrorist attacks in the U.S., people mainly have been in the major forums: OT and civ3

PM around, get some PC people in here, and we can have a big system war. that'll liven things up until macuser notices

There ain't much to talk about cept civ3 and there is a forum(s) for that.

what os # do you think civ3 will have as a minimum?

anywhere from 8.5 up, I'd imagine. civ3 isn't exactly quake3, so the reqs shouldn't be that high (isn't that why a lot of people have macs in the first place?). if it won't load on my (although aging) G3, then I'll lose a lot of faith in apple software when compared to its MS counterpart, which apparantly can load it up with a 233.

I still fully support the idea of a moderated pc/mac slugfest. us vs glonk and about two thirds of apolyton

Everyone:

I am a proud owner of a Macintosh computer who also happens to be addicted to Civilization II!!! I am also looking forward to Civilization III ... sometime in early to mid-2002, hopefully.

As for prerequisities; well, I hope it runs on OS 8.5 minimum and can be satisfied with 160 RAM and 4 gig or so HD.

thanks for showin up guys! i didn't know if anyone was coming here

almost everything that people want wide us on works for 8.6+ so i really really hope civ 3 should. i've got one of the oldest imacs there is and i'm running 8.6


i'd rather just have maccers in here. the place for an OS war would be the ot

ok hold it..
current pc requirements for civ3

.: 32 megs of ram
.: 400 megs hd
.: 4X CD-Rom
.: DirectX 8.0a vid. card

what does all this translate into?

PC reqs don't always translate directly into mac, but I'll do my best.

- Mac OS 8.6 or higher (8.5 users should be able to download the upgrade)
- G3 Processor 233 (that's cutting it VERY close) - 333
- 64 MB RAM (min, probably won't run well) - 128 MB RAM (good amount)
- 500 megs HD

That's a pretty aggressive translation, so hopefully they'll give us some slack, especially in the area of RAM. If you've got the max system I estimated, you'll probably be fine. Anything less (my comp included) is still up in the air.

	Tired of ads?

please also note that the system reqs I listed could run The Sims reasonably well. Since that was a 3D game, not a 2D TBS disc, Westlake should at least get civ3 to boot on the specs I listed. Poor programming could leave some low-end users in the dust, though.

I have everyhting there cept
8.6...i'm not too keen on switching....all that updating..ugh..easier to buy a pc ducks head

I'm cutting it close on processor.I have 300....that'll be close.128 is all I have for RAM but thats not a huge problem.HD space is plentiful.

I have the stock video card that comes with a G3.AT Rage or something.Doesn't look like 3 will be a "heavy" graphics game anyway.

you better duck your head! what's wrong with upgrading? everyone runs on 8.6+ now

i'm pretty secure civ three will run on my imac-one of the originals, G3, 96 mb RAM version

they've said they want this game to run on less powerful computers to get ot to as many people as possible, so surely it'll run on G3's

ever see the game boxes that have a little picture of an imac on them saying that this perticular game will run on an imac? this could very well be one of those games

game boxes......hmm......

any speculation on mac LE version? they made civ2 gold for us, how long after the windows version, anyone know?

that was like the 1st game i got when i bought my imac, before that it was all civ1! i even tried putting civ1 on my imac, didn't run right

300 should be ok...if Westlake fails us there, they'll take a big hit as far as my confidence in them goes...no excuse for it. They got The Sims to work on a 233/64 - at that rate, civ3 should be easy. Never know the exact specs of the game, though, so maybe I'm talking too much too fast.

We'll see.

It translates into many headaches and one ugly piece of tech on the computer desk/table/cart.

Now, while we wait for AoE2 Civ3 and Moo3 (the one that I'm hot for), does anyone want to play a game SMAX or AC? That would give us all a good reason to return to these forums.

yes,it is VERY good...so far.I can't crash it and I have been trying

IMO..it is big step up from ie 5 and a huge step up from 4.74.Pages are loading very fast and I have an old fashioned 56k.I even went to default forum setting from light style.No problems at all.A good site to test browsers is Civ3.com.Lots of images and a flash movie.NS 6.1 loads it at least twice as fast as ie 5.I won't even talk about 4.74.

Until I experience some problems,I am back to NETSCAPE..hooray!!

if you get it,do a custom install or it will install some stuff you probably don't want.

Well, I just signed up to the forums today and thought I'd say hi. I've finally gotten "Civ 3 fever" and will probably be on occasionally obsessing about when the Mac version will be out. It's nice to see a Mac specific forum on these boards, it warms my heart.

Anyway.....Smash, what OS are you using Netscape 6.1 on? I might have to give it a whirl if it's carbonized. IE for X doesn't have the best support for Java and Flash, but there really isn't an alternative right now. I hate supporting Microsoft......

Welcome to the boards, drake! Hopefully you'll be an active member of the forum and post a few times a week in this section. Most people who visit the mac forums come and go, making it difficult to have an established community short of four or five people.

IE, in my experiance, has always been the devil on a macintosh. Small and isolated glitches abound, that for one reason or another never showed face on the PC side. Nice to see Netscape making a comeback.

Smash, you run 8.5, right?
