Scourge for Mac?

[Kesto11]

I was wondering if the team is considering making SoW Gettysburg for Mac users. I will admit I have no idea how much work this would take, but I for one am saddened that I cannot play at college since I have a Mac laptop (I play SoW on a Windows 7 computer at home).

No immediate plans for that. It would require a complete re-design of the game and that would be too much time away from developing new releases.

However there may be an emulator that could run the game on a Mac. Mikesla would be your man for that. Hopefully he'll chime in.

I figured. I'm trying to find someone willing to donate a used windows laptop for my gaming purposes, that would take care of the issue. I don't want to download anything illegally and destroy my computer.

It wouldn't be illegal. WineHQ is one of the free emulators:

A Windows PC would of course be your best bet, but I hope the laptop works out. Just letting your know there are options available.

I looked at the supported app list and saw sid meier's gettysburg, no scourge though. Would it still be possible to run SoW or does it have to be already supported?

Edit: I've looked at Wine before but am unfamiliar with it's functionality.

I run it on my iMac in Windows via Boot Camp. Works great!

Did you get it for free? Looking to save money instead of spending it

BootCamp http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/ works well. BootCamp is free with your Mac, but the Windows install it will use is not. However, if you are a student, you should be able to get Windows 8 at the educational discount.

Thankfully I found a friend who gave me his old laptop- game runs great on it
