OpenTTD for sure (not city building as transportation building ... but it's nice and complex)
Simcity 4 was good.
Anyhow, Can't the Mac laptop run windows? If so, then It would be worth considering Tropico 3, however, laptops generally have crap for 3d performance ... so maybe not even playable in games anyhow ...
It can run windows, but the problem is two fold... I'd have to buy another copy of windows 7 and she doesn't want windows touching her mac.
If she had wanted Windows, my finding a game for her would have been so much easier... lol.
Folks,
Any reason why I should get CIV 4 instead of CIV 5 other than the halving of the cost?
Oh boy do a search of CIV IV or 5 here and you'll find out. CIV IV most people here, myself included think its a way better game.
But you were looking for an economic building game right? While CIV has that it's really at its heart a war game of civilization building proportions. I guess if you set the game rules to turn off military and focus on economics it wouldn't be bad at all.
Tell your girlfriend she's a retard. Why doesn't she want windows touching her mac? It'd be one thing if she was too lazy to dual boot. But wtf...
Firstly, she is my fiancee. Secondly, she is not a retard since her IQ is vastly greater than 70, which is the accepted standard for characterizing mental retardation. I don't know where your comment came from, but, I fail to see how her preferences could be met with such a negative conclusory statement without supporting evidence. Be that as it may, I acknowledge your right to use whatever language you like, opinion or fact.
However, your other comment is closer to reality. She doesn't like dual booting, having multiple OS's on her laptop is just too much of a hassle for her. She doesn't own a spare windows license, nor do I. Buying windows 7 for 130-200$ just to play a 20-50$ game doesn't make sense to either her or myself.
Thus, the whole purpose of my original post was to sequester any suggestions for mac osx compatible games of the genre described. If there are none, then that is unfortunate, but life moves on. If there are some, where there appears to be, then excellent.
You're the one who gave a stupid nonsensical reason for her not wanting to dual boot, and then you spent three paragraphs going off on his whimsical use of one word like he was really trying to say your GF was clinically retarded...
Stronghold?
