I purchased Age Of Empires 3 just before Christmas only to discover that it is affected by what appears to be quite a regularly occurring bug; when you start a new game you get a dialog box on screen informing you that basically the computer opponents have no intelligence and will not react, move, develop or inteact with you - unless you happen to walk up to them and stand around for them to shoot you.
Some workarounds are suggested in the forums but these appear to only work for the PC version. I emailed the support staff before Christmas and posted in the forums but have yet to receive any response or news of update. This problem also occurs on a friends iMac who bought it at the same time.
Graphics are good, gameplay seems involving enough and g=some really good ways to blow enemies up!
If anyone has any suggestions or knows of a workaround I'd really appreciate it and so would a large number of other Mac users (judging by some of the forum topics
) I have added an attachment that shows the dialog box.
