Has anyone managed to host on a Mac?

Does anyone else running the game (either on a Mac or not), get "death screams" played while viewing unit information from the strategic map? It usually seems to happen after you've viewed a battle, and sometimes in conjunction with pressing command+escape instead of escape by mistake. It doesn't cause the game to crash, though it is annoying and creepy.

Yeah, I've gotten those since I can think. I think it has to do with the sound buffer, and maybe with pausing the game while viewing the battles. It's rather funny sometimes if those sounds are released one at a time whenever you click some button on the map or in the message window and somebody is screaming "Ugh" or "Ayyeeeeeh".

I thought it was some kind of sound testing feature. Viewing male units resulted in the male screams and female units generated female screams. Also, female screams made it sound like you were watching a slasher movie.

Ich, did you get hosting to work properly on your Intel Mac by the way?

No, I think the powersaving feature of the Mac made it impossible to have a server running over longer times. Or that was only Argitoth's problem and the game froze quickly after a while of sitting around idly. In any case, it didn't work.
