 By Far the WORST Civ release of all time, 2007-01-26
The Mac version is crippled compared to the PC version due to the absence of an editor. There was a beta version of the editor, but it hardly worked reliably. The game is incredibly slow on the Mac, on a large map, be prepared to wait five or more minutes on a PowerMac G4 1GHZ with 1Gb of RAM between turns (and that is bottom line, turns can frequenlty take much longer). The AI is absolutely stupid, war breaks out all the time and there is little one can do about it. Alliances are silly. The diplomatic options overall are just crippled and lame (a backward step from Civ II). The ONLY thing this game has going for it is lots of good press and nice looking graphics. Don't even think about using a nuke on a city with an airport, roads connected, or a harbor... the game will freeze after the explosion for approximately three minutes before letting you continue. These issues have not been observed on the PC. Buy Civ IV as that appears to be a far more enjoyable, fast, well thought out version of this title.
