Its about bloody time.

This game originally came out for the PC back in 2004, so its a bit bemusing to see it only just now coming out for the Mac. Fortunately, it has aged spectacularly well, and was always one of the funnest of the Total War franchise. The port is quite faithful, and appears to be well-adapted to the Mac. It runs beautifully on my Core 2 Duo driven 13" MacBook Pro, even in intense battle scenes involving thousands of troops. No stability issues to date.
