Feral Interactive today announced a spring release for Empire: Total War Gold Edition, developed by The Creative Assembly and published by SEGA for Windows. The Mac version includes Empire: Total War, the Warpath Campaign DLC, The four Special Forces Units and Elite Units DLC packs, as well as all the updates and improvements.

“Empire: Total War Gold Edition draws on rich historical source material to create a game with vast scope and astonishing depth,” said David Stephen, Managing Director of Feral Interactive

Empire: Total War Gold Edition places the series’ prized elements of real-time tactics and turn-based strategy against the turbulent backdrop of the 18th century. Exploring grand themes such as the Industrial Revolution, America's struggle for independence, the race to control Asian trade routes, and the globalization of war on land and sea, the game charges players with the fortunes of a nation and challenges them to establish it as the world’s dominant power.

Players command entire fleets in real-time naval combat amid dynamic water and weather effects, where mastery of their vessels makes the difference between glorious victory and humiliating defeat. Ground warfare has also changed, with the arrival of gunpowder, muskets and accurate artillery. To triumph in this radically different environment, players must learn new formations and master new tactics. 

The Mac version of Empire: Total War Gold Edition comprises the base game Empire: Total War and all the game updates, improvements and downloadable content, including The Warpath Campaign, where players take command of one of five new Native American factions, defending their lands from invaders. It also includes four unit packs, the Special Forces Units and the Elite Units of the East, West and America.

First RAGE and now this requiring Lion. I guess I'll have to upgrade soon since these games are getting too good to miss out on. It's great that it'll be an all-inclusive Gold Edition. Any word on if/how multiplayer will be implemented?

Imho Rage performance are AWESOME compared to other Mac games (es Borderlands), i think one one of the reason for this are Lion's new OpenGL/3D drivers. Anyway compared to 10.6.6 i've seen 10-20% increase on most gfx card, my Mac Pro had a 25-30% more pas in most benchmarks when i've upgraded to Lion.
