I Just Wnet On Apple.com And They Now Have Rome Total War Available On The Site!!!!!!! Steve Jobs Has Heard My Prayers!!!! :D
 
A great victory

Today the Faction of the macuser confederacy has struck a blow against the PC Alliance and we've gained a strategic advantage of the game Rome Total war now available on macs in a conference Leader of the confederacy yelled out "EAT THAT PC!!! YOU CAN NEVER BEAT US!!!:D" The victory between these two opposing sides seems to now be in favor of the macusers who have better computers, HD's, work applications, and of course we're just better!!:D Mac Gaming Power GO!!!!!

Wow... you guys are weird :)

I've never played RTW, and I'm planning to try (as soon as I hear some reports about performance). My only question is, will it make me this weird?

As it can run on PPC machines I would not worry about performance on anything modern unless you go full out crazy on the options! :)

I'm as pleased as the next guy that "Rome: TW" is finally out for Mac, but for Mac (ie. OS X) gaming to come even close to your view of things, we need at least another few porting houses on a par with Feral. Sorry but, IMHO, it ain't going to happen. ;)

I suppose PC gamers could be envious of the Mac gamers who finally get a game they've had for 5 years...:p

I feel like i should be offended but I call myself weird all the time so i'm not and unless you're naturally weird (like me) the game will only make you addicted to it and you'll be feeling urges to play the game again and again and again

No need to be offended. And yes, I'm weird. Not quite THAT weird, but weird enough.

Well it's going to be better on mac because macs have better processors and graphics cards and all that stuff

long time lurker of this thread, first time poster.
i went into the apple store last night and they still haven't received the stock. just a few questions:
for those of you who have already received the game and have played it, how is the performance and what are your mac's specs? does anyone know how this game will run on an imac with the 9400 video card?

also, someone posted something on the game being cheaper on gogamer.com. it's currently $25 there. does anyone have any prior experience buying from them? i ordered the game from them last night, but canceled immediately after reading their customer reviews.

thanks.
 
Picked up my copy in the Apple Store in Bristol this afternoon.

Bit of a surprise to find it there so soon, but a pleasant surprise.

Hope to try it out tomorrow.

me too. i was at my local store (Portland,Or) having my mouse-pad replaced and was like 'oh waite maybe they have rtw'. AND THEY DID!
 
We sent out an email before release asking if people want a Intel only DVD or wait for the UA disk which will come in a few weeks. If you don't reply to this email your pre-order will not ship till the UA version is ready (so PPC users don't get an Intel only disk).

Edwin

My order is still processing and i never received an email asking if i wanted intel only or not. Does this mean i have to wait for the UA disk to come out in a few weeks to receive my order?

We do have a spec on our website, as I mentioned in the thread it will play on a GMA950 so you are more than safe on a 9400.

We're only holding back the UA discs for people who have specifically told us they're on PPC machines, so:

  • If you told us you're on PPC, you'll get your disc when the UA version is ready.
  • If you told us you're on Intel, you'll get your disc as soon as we can get it to you.
  • If you didn't tell us anything, you'll get your disc as soon as we can get it to you.

So don't worry, we won't be holding back your order! :)

Sorry that I didn't catch the earlier post. My order just shipped from Feral Interactive... I'm so excited, I haven't played this game in years and miss it dearly.

Thanks for your help, Edwin!
 
Ok then thanks for the info :). I was a little worried for a moment there, but i'll keep checking my order on the tracking website.
