Hello everybody!
I want to refresh some informations about playing in LAN and the compatibility between Windows and MAC in this year of 2017.
I saw other threads but they are 7 years old now.
I discovered that game last year and I am playing the Windows Version with Linux MATE using Wine.
My friend has a MAC version of it. We would like to play together.
Unfortunately, many people faces the compatibility problem with PCs versions and Mac versions. It seems impossible to launch a game between Pc and Mac.
Old rumors say that you need that you need the Windows version 1.12 and Mac version 1.04.
It's hard to now nowadays because it seem forgotten in the obsure years of the Internet.
We remembered that there was a compatibility table of AOEIII versions and the equivalences between Windows and Mac, but it seems lost today...
I have the 1.14 version, it seems to be most up-to-date version according to this page:

Is there anybody somewhere in this modern world that 'workaround'-ed this old problem?
My next attempt will be to install the Windows version on my friend's mac using PlayOnMac. I guess it will work since the game is older and his computer might survive the emulation.
Have a good evening, day, morning and hope we can share some ideas.
