Age Of Wonders For Mac
Unfortunately, GOG.com is only carrying the Windows release currently. I just checked as I had noticed that earlier to see if it had changed. I'd like to see it come to the Mac App Store myself but eventually I will get it on Steam if it doesn't. I used to prefer Steam but I've increasingly been gravitating towards the app store when possible. It's a minor point but I hate how often Steam puts generic Steam icons for games in Launchpad. It really irks me.
Age of Wonders III is a 3D 4X (explore, expand, exploit and exterminate) turn based strategy game. The original game comes with six races (humans, draconians, high elves, dwarves, orcs, and goblins) and the Eternal Lords DLC adds two more: frostlings and tigrans.

I like the cool looking game icons. More importantly, I enjoy launching directly into a game without delay. I know I could keep the Steam app running constantly to speed game launches but I don't like to keep anything running constantly that I am not actively using. You can get the correct icon by going into /Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/common, then finding the appropriate folder, which will have the actual app in it, with (usually) a proper icon.
Then you can copy and paste the icon. Yes it's annoying.
Anyway, yep, bought it, played it for 5 minutes and it seems to run well. It will be a while before I actually play it for real, though, since coincidentally I've been playing Age of Wonders II via Crossover, and after that is Shadow Magic. Click to expand.Well, actually I usually drag whatever I am currently playing out of there to the dock. I will confess though I have stuff grouped in launchpad by type of app, then genre of game so it isn't hard to find stuff I don't keep on the dock. In my defense here, I find this more expedient than using Finder and I refuse to go back in time to typing the name of a program even if Spotlight is certainly simpler than navigating a directory tree, etc., etc.
Using the CLI of days gone. Well, mostly gone by for this old man!
