Will it run on a Mac?

[zerobyte]

I have been waiting so long for this new version of Victoria...so long that I switched to Apple in the meantime.
Will I be able to run the game with some kind of emulation (wine or Macindows 0.8 or something else?) instead of installing Windows on my Mac? :wacko:

If I remember correctly they have an contract with a company that ports their games from windows to mac but it takes some time to port it. if more costumers used Mac then I guess porting times would be cut.

VPhttp://www.vpltd.com/index.php?main_page=index is the company who port most Paradox game to Mac OSX. The problem is, it seems like VP can not keep pace of Paradox's patch. AFAKI, the latest Mac version of HOI3 is still 1.2.

That is not true, Mac HoI3 is at 1.4 as well (and was released as 1.3 by the way, so much for the port times ).

EU: Rome is still at 2.1 though, shame!

But yes, you will have to wait several months for the Mac port, and a few weeks to several months for a patch, depending on luck.

If your mac is reasonably new just install bootcamp. It's what I do and it works wonderfully No need for waiting for a port then or patches.
Also, while I haven't played any of virtual programmings newer ports, their pre-clauswitz ones were not very good.

Personally, I've haven't had many problems with VP's ports, even the older ones. HoI 1 and 2 and Victoria always ran great for me on my old G4 MacbookPro. EU3 runs very nicely on my new machine. VP do tend to be slow, however. But they keep at it until they get things right...just slowly.

If you're impatient, Boot Camp is a very viable option.
