    Default Europa on Mac?

    Hey guys,
    Is anyone using a Mac computer to play Europa? I am getting one soon and am wondering if I will be able to play my beloved game via Bootcamp or Parrallel. I am casting about to see if anyone has any experiance with this.



    thanks.

    Wouldn't recommend Parallel for RTW. It seems to run anything before DirectX 9 (Quake 3 generation games for instance), but RTW runs very slowly and with a lot of graphical glitches. Bootcamp should work, I recall hearing people even running MTW2 using that.

    Yeah, it works, I play EB on my Macbook Pro Core Duo, 2.33 Ghz through boot Camp. It works pretty good. Make sure you have lots (2GB) of RAM, it will help tremendously.

    Bests,

    I agree with the post above
    graphics can be raised to a ridiculous level and it still runs smoothly with hardly any wait times

    I play on a 1 year old 24" iMac and I can jack up the graphics as far as they go. But it has to be bootcamp and windows xp. I tried it on parallels, no joy.

    I'm running on mac OSX (not leopard) with 1 gb memory, 2.16 processor and an nvidia geforce 7300 gt. everything works fantastically. Highly recommended.
