Game summary
In Imperialism you rule one of the Great Powers in a world modeled on the real world of the nineteenth century. As the game begins, your country and the other Great Powers begin a period of rapid economic, military, and social advancement due to the onset of the Industrial Revolution. You must first harness these historic forces to develop your own country, and then use your new found wealth and resources to compete successfully with the other Great Powers in the realms of diplomacy, trade, and war. Only one Great Power can establish the pre-eminent Empire in the world.

Play Imperialism on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Imperialism on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.
Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.
Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
Imperialism installation steps for Mac
Step 1
Go to Parallels.com and download the latest version of the software.
Step 2
Follow the installation process and make sure you allow Parallels in your Mac’s security preferences (it will prompt you to do so).
Step 3
When prompted, download and install Windows 10. The download is around 5.7GB. Make sure you give it all the permissions that it asks for.
Step 4
Once Windows is done installing, you are ready to go. All that’s left to do is install Imperialism like you would on any PC.
