Now that RTW is available for the Mac, is there a version of EB that will work on a Macintosh?

IF RTW works, EB will as well, and there are some mods on which you can play PC games on MAC.

My memory is hazy, but I believe that if you download the mod, it should be a .exe file. If you make the .exe file a .zip file (or is it a 7zip format - .7z?), you can manually place everything where you would need to. You might have to make your own shortcut with the proper command line to play the mod.

Plus, you can always use Bootcamp to run Windows on your mac, and then play EB that way. That's how I've always done it and EB has worked great for me.

What are your Mac stats, if you don't mind me asking, Winsington III??

It's no problem. I have one of the older macbook pros, it has a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 2 gigs of RAM, and a GeForce 8600M GT with 256 MB of RAM video card. I've actually been pretty impressed with its gaming capabilities. I run Windows XP in Bootcamp because Vista needs about twice the RAM to run games properly, and since I only have 2 gigs xp is the better choice. I can run RTW and EB on the highest settings with huge unit sizes with no problems, and I can run M2TW on mostly the highest settings and huge unit sizes. I can even run Empire TW without many problems, although not on the highest settings (I think a new model macbook pro could handle it though). So, all in all it does quite a good job.
