Well, I only have a Mac that's relatively new and has decent specs.

I have a couple PCs but they are just basic things and I don't even know how old they are. I only use them for work. Use my MacBook Pro for work and pleasure.

Awesome, thanks for posting that!

Excellent! I do hope that official Mac support happens at release. Having Windows installed on my Mac just felt wrong

Yeah, same here.

I just got it installed today and went through the first few quests so only small battles so far no sieges or anything but that all went very smoothly. I’m playing on a 2019 16” MBP with and 8gig AMD graphics card

Thanks for the report.

I've got a 2018 15" MacBook Pro and a Radeon Pro 555X 4 GB video card ... So that's a fair bit less than you have, but the recommended specs are only for a 2GB AMD graphics card so I'm hoping my 4 gig card will still cut the mustard. I expect your 8 gig card should be more than sufficient.

As awesome as this game looks and as much as I want to play it ... I certainly can't justify buying a new system just to play it.

I’ve tried playing using Parallels (a virtual machine software that runs windows within MacOS) and it was just too slow but that’s because it couldn’t use full the Mac’s full power which is fine for lighter duty stuff but not this game. I think I’m gonna try bootcamping this weekend I’ll let you know how it goes, I have a MacBook with a dedicated graphics card as well.

Thanks, I appreciate it. Interested to hear the verdict.

Ok, thanks ... sounds much easier than I thought and the fact it's so easy to undo also reassures me. Will definitely do a back up.

Bought my MacBook Pro in the 4th quarter of 2019 so it should be equal to the task.

You can make a dual-boot with a software like Bootcamp.

I guess I will have to educate myself on how to do that.

Have you (or anyone else in this thread) had experience playing Bannerlord doing this? Good/bad/indifferent results?

I would say it depends on what sort of fantasy setting and what sort of gaming experience is desired.

If a "low fantasy" or "realistic fiction" experience is what is sought, then the game should adhere to the physics and other natural laws of the real world as much as possible. This seems to be what Bannerlord is intended to be, so in that case I agree with you that cavalry should not be able to ignore the density of infantry formations -- in order to give a more realistic feel, and to allow for better suspension of disbelief/immersion. To ignore these things would mean that the world Bannerlord takes place in does not obey the same laws of physics etc. that we do on earth ... in which case there should be more differences, and if it is good fiction, there will be a plausible/setting consistent explanation as to why those laws don't apply.

In fantasy fiction, any rules can be broken. The question is, should they? And the answer to that question will depend on what sort of world you want to story to take place in and why you want to break that rule. Plus how reasonable is the explanation for why that law of nature doesn't apply. That's not a matter of whether it's fantasy or not, in my view, but whether it's good fantasy and how immersive it can be (for my money, chopping down a castle gate with an axe with no reasonable explanation -- like a super powerful magic axe that is consistent with the world's magic levels -- ruins my ability to suspend disbelief and smacks of poor or lazy storytelling).

All that said, this game in in early release/beta format, so some things may not be realistic because the kinks haven't been worked out yet. So I am NOT levelling any criticism at the game itself right now ... just discussing the philosophical point put forward.

Bumping this in hopes that we might hear whether there are plans for a Mac OS version. The game sounds awesome from what my PC-owning friends have said so far. I don't own a PC capable of handling this game and it sounds like stuff like Wine, Parallels, etc. won't cut the mustard either.
