Ygori:

Thanks for the assist. I figured it out, finally. Although I had tried a few times to run the Dominions3 app inside the bundle by *navigating* to that directory (e.g., "cd /Applications/Dominions 3/Dominions3.app/Contents/MacOS/") before running it, it never worked.

But just establishing the current working directory outside of the application bundle, and then running the core app with the entire path specified, did the trick.


So, to repeat for every OSX user's benefit:
1. open terminal.
2. run the following command, adjusting the path to specify the location of your Dominions 3 game folder:

/Applications/Games/'Dominions 3'/Dominions3.app/Contents/MacOS/Dominions3 -h

Thanks, Ygori. I'll probably make a script file to execute that without having to go to terminal first, or for setting command-line switches I wish to load every time.
