Re: Mac Heroes IV?

Well, it took me a while because 3do won't ship outside N America and
their 'international page' was all phone numbers, but finally
Mac-o-rama shipped me Heroes IV, and I had my first play yesterday.

Anyone else got it? The game's fine, but for me at least it was v e r
y slow. Especially the combat screen - like it takes almost a full
minute between each creature's move.

I tried reducing the monitor resolution as suggested in the manual,
but that had no effect at all. I'm playing under OS 9.2 and I wondered
if it might be better under OS 10. Anyone tried?

... The game is pretty slow in 10 as well, but the pause before each creature moves was only a few seconds, not close to a minute for me. The AI is horrible...
