I am wanting to buy this game from the Mac app store. I have a late 2013 maxed out with i7 processor 16gb of ram, 780m graphics etc, but the bugs are scaring me from purchasing this game. I have been hearing about crashes and some people cannot even load it :(.

Thats more powerful than my macbook so your specs are fine as I can run it quite well.

With regards to the bugs I haven't had anything major. Just the standard ones you get in any total war game. The only one big problem I had was once I had routed the entire enemy army and didn't say I won, so I had to quit the battle and concede defeat. But that only happened once and since then everythings run great. It's taken a long time for it to get this far as things have apparently been sorted out since patch 15, which luckily is when the game has gone on sale for mac. So we haven't had to suffer through the mess that pc players have.

I'd strongly recommend it! However by it off steam, on the mac store it's £40.00 whereas on the steam store it's £30.00 for some strange reason. Don't know what that is in dollars if you're american :)
