Has anyone been able to run this game successfully on a Mac? I've been going nuts trying to do it and would like to get some tips.

Thanks!

I seem to remember from an older topic that this is unfortunately not possible...

Really sorry for you!

Hello :)

I'm using Mac for few time and yet I have installed Parallels (http://www.parallels.com/), a software which makes possible to install windows on a mac. I run softwares for windows only and it works perfect... Didn't try the game yet but I'm sure it would be possible !!

Hi,

If you have an IMac it has dual Intel processors. Best to setup a boot camp and run it in windows mode only. The game will fly i am sure. Much faster than parallels which shares the processor and video memory with the Mac OS.

Thanks for the help. I have a MacBook 2 GHz Intel Core Duo with Boot Camp installed. The game launches and runs, but there are some things (like changing formation) that don't seem to be working. Some things that don't work in the tutorials do work when I load one of the provided saved battles. Help?

The game does run very well on my iMac :D   (boot camp, Vista home premium)

I run the game on MacPro using BootCamp with Windows XP.  The game runs perfectly fine in terms of frame rate, etc.

Running Windows in BootCamp means that you are not using emulation (like Parallels).  Your computer will run just like a PC.  This means you need to have enough memory, decent vid card, etc.
