Default Quick question regarding Mac version

Is the mac version fat binary? If not is there any plan to support intel-based macs?

I believe intel based macs will run Dominions just fine using emulation.

I plan to compile and release a universal binary when I have got hold of an intel mac, but that will probably take some time.

It works "ok" on an Intel Mac.

Playing the game, in battles, ect are fine.

But it can take upwards of 30-45 seconds to finish a turn around past turn 20 or 30. This is about 5-10x slower than an equivalent Intel Windows PC running the same processor.

I have a Macbook and so far everything works fine. And I don't think that turns take much longer than on my 3.4 ghz athlon 64
