AACW is on the Apple App Store. Who knew?
Doesn't sound like the world's greatest port.

Just in case it is useful, the game was updated recently for Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) support

I run AACW on both Win 7 and the Mac port. I got the Mac port as soon as it came out - there were a few minor issues corrected in 2 patches prior to the latest for Lion support. It runs fine on my MacBook Pro - I experience nothing like the reviewer mentions - methinks they are not used to AI like Athena that takes some time and really thinks things through...
So I say thumbs up for the port - virtually indistinguishable from AACW on Windows for me flipping between both OS's often. I really enjoy having it on the Mac side and only fret a bit about any patches from hereon for ACCW done in Win getting over to the Mac side (I think I read Pocus saying there would be a new patch for several games at some point post-PoN frenzy?).

Hi Micheal
Are you able to test if its possible to play a multiplayer game where one person runs a Mac and the other a Windows machine? I havent been able to find this out yet.
