Hello everyone :)
I have struggled in the past to get this game to work on Sierra, the latest version of MacOS from Apple. This is due to certain support applications and libraries being removed. Without these the current wrapper floating around the internetsphere does not work and will not launch.
I have put together a working install for Age Of Empires III, plus all of it's expansions. Everything works as it should.
I have not tested this on any other computer but I would appreciate feedback and will add it to later versions to show which systems this has been tested on.

>Please PM me for download as uploading a free copy to the internet is pretty illegal and very naughty<
FAQ:
Q: Why is the FAQ different on here than on the wrapper, you lie!
A: I am lazy and this is updated more. I will update the link as with the latest version every month.
Q: It doesn’t work on Sierra you lie!
A: Because X11 is broken on Sierra, you need to install XQuartz
—> https://dl.bintray.com/xquartz/downloads/XQuartz-2.7.11.dmg <—
Q: What is the status of this project?
A: I intend to install GameRanger and Voobly just like the previous one, however due to lack of time and resources I cannot at this moment.
Q: What is the WINE Engine used?
A: 2.6.2
Q: What hardware has this been tested on? (Updated 28/04/2017)
A: MacBook Pro 15” 2016: i7 6700HQ, 16GB, 256GB, AMD 450 2GB

I need to update my copy but use this: http://www.mediafire.com/file/bccbrfbmr ... Sierra.dmg
I think options need to be updated but should work OOB. Switch the target exe to the Asian Dynasties executable and you should be all good.
I'm pretty busy at uni atm so it won't be updated until like ages sorry. Probably will be updated for High Sierra it might just work on it atm.

Dear fiends,
the contribution they make is incredible.
from Santiago, Chile I thank you.
but now I require your help, my AOE III died yesterday in my MAC HIGH SIERRA.
I do not update for a long time, but yesterday I made the mistake.
I did not know that this could happen.
someone knows how I can run my AOE III in MACOS HIGH SIERRA 10.13.2
I would appreciate the help.
Thanks a lot again for the contribution bros.

Re: Installing Age Of Empires III on OS X Sierra
well, i used this guide to install AOE through Steam on my mac. And it worked perfectly
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-Fu1cg ... yw&index=1
Its in spanish, i dont speak spanish, but it's understandable. Just follow the steps and enjoy.
Idk how to use the ESOC Patches on mac though, if anyone could present a guide, that'd be great!
Hope the video will help some of you out
