Bought it today and runs awesome! I only ran into issue with EXPOSE> Everytime I tried to scroll diagonally up either way, it went EXPOSE on me. I can just change that though. Other than that, no chop at all! Great sound too!

Just FYI to any users. Mac AOE3 and PC AOE3 are not compatible. Pretty much pointless in anyway to buy the Mac version unless thats the only people you want to play... very unsatisfied with my purchase for this fact....

Unfortunately, that is a common problem with many Mac versions of games over the years....Though I have never really had a problem with it, it can still be frustrating at times...:o

Oh I know but this game's best feature is the online play... the single player gets old real quick especially when you beat the story mode...

I love a good multi player option too...really extends the life of any game that is conducive to it...

Age of empires has never been cross platform compatible due mainly to microsofts use of directplay. Most other TCP/IP based games are unfortunately it does take the fun out of AOE :(
It is listed on the box as only mac multiplay compatible though caveat emptor
