I recently downloaded the demo version of the game for my mac. The glitch that happens with me is in the tutorial where I have to open the city screen window. Firstly, the opening isn't counted for the tutorial quests and secondly, the food n hammer tiles don't show when I open the screen. I lowered all the settings and turned off anti-aliasing, but the problem still persists. I use a mac OS X Lion btw .
@damagexyz Civ 4 on Mac doesn’t user Cider. Check it for yourself by going into the app bundle; there’s no transgaming directory nor any Windows executables in there.
The reason this game sucks on the mac is because it's running Windows code. yes you heard me right. This is a Cider port (you may be familiar with Transgaming's version of WINE, which enables people to run some Windows games on Linux/BSD). Aspyr didn't create a true Mac version of this game, it's basically running native Windows code on a Mac.
If I recall correctly I had the exact same problem just as you did on windows xp. Not sure how I fixed it but later on that problem seemed to disappear, perhaps the expansion patched it or the updated video card drivers. So all u noobies blaming the good old Mac, don't be such morons, it's the game code!
macs arent stupid they are actually a great computer and have fun things to do on the. pcs are more like computers for work, they tend to be a bit more complicated.

Anyone still surprised why it sucks?

I sometimes see spies and workers running across the screen as if they are on LSD
