Great
My sons have spent hours creating their civilizations. This game seems to be very entertaining.
Great game but terrible programming
Civ IV is a a lot of fun. Similar to old PC games like Master of Magic.
Unfortunately, the Mac version is moderately buggy. Let me count the ways:
1) Audio glitches. Occasionally an old sound will seemingly 'stay in the buffer' as an annoying buzz for several minutes.
2) Video. After playing for a few hours some of the terrain improvements turn completely black. Restarting the game works for this one.
3) Video. After a few hours it gets slow and the video glitches. The menus become partially unreadable. Restarting also works here and there is no noticeable corruption of the autosave files.
4) Complete Crash. Several times I have had my whole machine lock up when playing in full screen mode. Its interesting in that its not a complete freeze, but instead the mouse slows down to 1/100 of its normal speed. However, I am unable to exit the game at this point and am forced to Hold Down the Power Button !!! to hardware restart. This is atrocious and the only program I know of that actually crashes the OS.
I have a 2.4 GHz iMac Intel Duo with 2 GB of RAM and running Tiger.
Love this game
An improvement over the original.. Can't play online with the game... but i don't care..
