To be frank, given the evil faction "crusades" against your settlements, it's almost pointless to play the game if you can't personally defend a settlement like Minas Tirith, Osgiliath, or Isengard. You'd have to sacrifice a lot of space for both TATW and one of its submods like MOS, though. If I were you guys I would just say screw Feral (they'll neve get around to helping you) and just partition your Mac hard drives like I did.

Plus the visuals are half the experience of the game and missing out on arguably the greatest and most gorgeous settlements, Minas Tirith, Osgiliath, even Rivendell, would be enough for me to say "screw that" and move on. Auto-resolving usually does not work in your favor if the odds are even slightly stacked against you (when you could otherwise win just by being a competent player).

However, it was essential to get a PC with a Windows operating system as soon as I wanted to fill up that hard drive space with more mods like Europa Barbarorum II, De Bello Mundi, Bellum Crucis 7, and Third Age Total War with MOS and DAC submods. I actually partitioned my MacBook's hard drive a long time ago to include Windows 7 OS, in order to play mods like Stainless Steel. I can't speak for anyone else, but if I had an Apple Desktop PC or a MacBook (the latter I coincidentally do have in addition to my newer HP Pavilion Notebook with Windows 8.1), I would simply not play TATW at all, or buy a new Windows PC compatible computer. Feral, who made the port are looking into a solution but have said it isn't high on their priority list. Sadly it's a known problem with the mac version.
