We did it! Update Company of Heroes 2 now and you'll get Mac vs Linux multiplayer.

Not quite yet, but in the near future you'll be able to play Western Front Armies on your Mac, have no doubts about that. :)

Hello kantatleehk!

Western Front Armies is a whole expansion pack rather than DLC, so it won't be passed to you via a patch, it'll be available to purchase. For instance, you'll be able to buy it on the Feral Store or here on Steam.

We haven't announced a release date so nothing much we can tell you there, but early next year is a safe bet! We'll let you know when we can hear the rumbles of marching.

Empire is fully-supported here: we have a Mac & Linux event every Thursday. We appreciate the initiative though!

On Mac, do the App Store version and the Steam version have completely separate servers? I'd guess non-Steam users can't play with Steam users?

You guessed right; they're separate servers. We set up our own (using Feral Accounts) so Mac App Store players can play against other Mac App Store players. Here's how it's done:

All we need to schedule now is Napoleon and Fall of the Samurai! Any preferences?

Weekly sessions for CoH2 and SHOGUN 2 for Mac have now been scheduled! http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/groups/maclinux#events

Cool, let's set up a weekly CoH2 Mac session that you can both make. How about Wednesdays at 6PM (UK) / 7PM (Slovakia)? If you're both up for this, we might even join you next Wednesday...

Saturdays at 8PM (UK time) sounds good.
Anyone else have any SHOGUN 2 Mac suggestions before I go ahead and schedule?

I enjoy Total War: Atilla, so if there are other people enjoying that game we could set up a weekly time to play.

You're welcome to casually plan battles for Atilla, but this Steam Group doesn't officially support it as it's not a Feral game. But we do have SHOGUN 2, Fall of the Samurai, Empire and Napoleon!

Are you on Mac or Linux or both?

You may have noticed that epic multiplayer battles in Empire: Total War have been scheduled for Mac and Linux every Thursday at 5PM EST / 2PM PST / 10PM UK. So be sure to turn up and wage a memorable war!

We're also discussing Company of Heroes 2 timing with Linux gamers. But what about Mac? We need your input so we can set up loads of regular multiplayer Mac sessions. So, Mac gamers, please reply here with your answers to these four questions:
