- Bug on OS X 10.5.6 (Intel)
There is a bug in this game. When you nuke someone, the screen turns black and you cannot exit the game (because you can't see the menu). It requires a hard reset on my mac.I have seen other posts on forums of people having the same problem but there is not a fix that I have found.MacSoft's site sucks.There is no way to email them for support.I guess I have to wait for the patch, if there is one coming, this game has been around for a while.[..]

Rating: - Great Game but Sucks on Intel Macs!
I used to play this game all the time on my power pc iMac and recently bought it for my MacBook Pro and it ran slow as a mother!I was super bummed because I've got 256mb of vram and 4gb of system ram.Unfortunately and I hate to say this, stay away if you've got an intel mac!

The Rise of Nations campaigns are "Risk"-esque. Instead of going from scenario to scenario until the conclusion of the campaign leader's life, as it is done in Age of Empires, the aim of RON's campaigns is to conquer the total territories on map. This affects the historical accuracy ... Read More
Rating: - Excellent choice
I played the heck out of AOE II.I really enjoyed it, and then when AOE III became available for the Mac I had to have it.That too was fun.I saw Rise of Nations on the shelf one day and picked it up to see what it was all about.Wow!Simply awesome.I haven't touched AOE III for months.I haven't done any online play with it, and I am still just making my way through the Naploean campaign, but this game is great.I enjoy building new cities and linking the trade routes.Game play is enjoyable.Armies ...
