Trade Nations for Mac is a port of the namesake game to the Mac OS X platform. Trade Nations for Mac is a game of development and trade. It is available from the App Store and numerous download sites and is a free app, although hard-core players will want to purchase in-app upgrades and extras.

In Trade Nations for Mac, you begin the game in a small village, acting as the mayor. You can have your villagers perform more than a dozen different jobs, creating goods, growing food, and developing the village infrastructure. As the village grows you need to adjust the population’s jobs to continue the growth and prevent stagnation. You need to micromanage their tasks, give them places to live, manage overall resources, and expand your contacts with other villages, cities, and nations. Trade Nations for Mac includes a social aspect so you can play with your friends, interacting with them and working toward a global market. With more than 100 achievements to reach, there’s enough to keep you playing Trade Nations for Mac for a while. The cartoonish graphics and a clean interface make this a fun game for both short-term and long-term play.

We’ve played Trade Nations on several platforms and it is an interesting cross between the traditional city-builder and trade game. The only issue most players will have is the need to spend real cash to advance and expand with any speed in the game. The publishers add new content regularly, and the social aspects of the game will attract many players.

It started as an iOS app, and now it is available on the Mac OS X platform, too: Battle Nations is a free game that combines city-building — including harvesting resources and creating goods — with combat, as you are also in charge of training troops and defending territory. While the combination of too many elements results in simplified building mechanics and combat (maybe too simplified), the overall gaming experience is enjoyable.

Everyone has a story, even the virtual characters, and we liked the action-movie type introduction of the characters at first launch; we wondered if this aimed to replace the missing Help file or Support for Battle Nations. The game isn’t as intuitive as the developers would probably like it to be, despite the on-screen help. Novice users will feel kind of lost, and they will need to spend extra time working out how the app and its controls work. As the Mac application is exactly the same game that users can download for free from the App Store on their iPad or iPhone, it’s interesting to continue the game on a bigger screen that reveals the graphical user interface in full.

While the story isn’t one of the game’s strengths, some of the characters are fun, especially the young mechanic. We loved the fact that players have some goals to reach. However, the most fun can be had if you don’t try to play against the computer, but rather against your friends or someone you connect with on the developer’s platform.

During our testing, the game performed well, and it was a more pleasant experience than on the iPhone’s small screen; it loads faster. However, there is room for improvement: both the city-building and battle elements are perhaps too simplistic, and advanced-level users may hunger for more.
