MacSoft has released an update to Age of Empires III, its recently released Macintosh conversion of the popular real time strategy game. The update fixes what MacSoft describes as “several minor issues that have affected gameplay.”
Age of Empires III returns players to the Age of Discovery, when European explorers pushed westward to explore the boundaries of the New World. The game spans hundreds of years as you help different members of a pioneering clan first explore the New World then settle it, fighting skirmishes with foes and eventually building an industrial empire that links the two coasts.
New in the 1.0.1 update — available for download from MacSoft’s Web site — are corrections to the following issues:
System requirements call for G4/1.2GHz or faster (including Intel), Mac OS X v10.3.9 or later, 512MB RAM, 2.5GB hard disk space, DVD or compatible drive, hardware T&L-supporting 3D graphics with at least 64MB VRAM and LAN or broadband access for multiplayer.
