Civilisation IV on the MBA 11" Ultimate?

[Sveno]

Hello,

Now, that Civilisation IV has arrived in the Mac App Store, I'm just wondering if it runs on the MBA 11" Ultimate. Any experiences?

Greetings,
Sven

Considering it's a 5-year old game it should run fine. As with any Civilization game, once your civ gets really big it's going to lag on any machine.

Advice : buy from Steam, it's cheaper. Wait for sales, I got the complete collection (base game + 2 expansions + Colonization for both Windows/Mac, installable on more than 5 computers) for 6.24$ USD over the holidays. Sure beats the 29.99$ price for just Colonization on the Mac App Store.

It runs like a charm on my 13", even at 2048x1156 (my external monitor's native res).

I can run both Civ IV and Civ V on the MBA 1.4Ghz/4GB. Haven't tried them on the OSX partition, but in Windows 7, they both work fine.

Question for you. How long did you play Civ 5. Lower-end computers can handle it but as soon as you hit 100 turns the CPU lag gets worse and worse.

What about call of duty 4? Would the 13" actually run that game and run multiplayer? its also on the app store.

I'm gonna be posting some videos tomorrow. You can see for yourself.
