Before all you iMac and early G4 users rush out and buy AOM beware. Apple shipped these computers with ATI Rage graphics cards
Even if they have 16MB VRAM AOM runs crap.
the ATI Rage is not supported. For those who are curious, the game will run but you get blocky white men and you have to guess which building is which cause they are all white! yipppee
At least you get a blue band around everything that is yours, a green one for allies and a red one for enemies so that you know who to attack Wicked. Should I thank Microsoft, or MacSoft, who gonna give me a refund????

You'd be lucky to get a refund, since as a mac techie you did read the system requirements which clearly state:
Macintosh computer with a 450MHz or faster processor, OSX 10.2.8 or higher, 256MB RAM, 16MB RADEON/GeForce2 MX or better video card, and CD-ROM drive.
So, now that we've cleared that up, where is this bug you speak of?

The Reqs on the box are different than the ones online. It doesn't mention Radeons or GeForce cards. Just "16MB video card" which can be very misleading. They should have tried a smaller font to get more information on there. Not everyone looks up every detail about a game before buying it.
