Alright then. The first step was to unzip the file using archive utility. Browse local files and open Napoleon Total War files. Go from there to NapoleonData/Data. Take EVERY SINGLE .pack file EXCEPT the boot.packs and paste them in Data. Delete boot.packs, they're made specifically for Windows and not Mac. Open the user.script.txt using TextEdit, do not paste them into NTW. Copy and paste the whole thing. Then, launch the Napoleon Total War Launcher, enter "Advanced", and paste the user.script.txt. Launch and you're read to go.

Doesnt give me the option to play a battle. Why?
check your resolution settings in the game, sometimes the game has a mini-stroke and shrinks the resolution in-game covering the check button. If that doesn't work then create a multiplayer game and put a password on it then add bots :)
