...Does not work well on my Mac mini core duo. I upgraded from 1.0 to 1.0.1, then to the universal 1.1 update as specified at the game site. Crashes constantly once you get a few animal environments set up.

Very disappointing. The graphics work smoothly, you'll just be going along (fine as far as you can tell) then BOOM! The game disappears.
So, for now, I wouldn't waste my $$$ on that game.
Ah well. Age of Mythology runs better through Rosetta.
