Memory hog

Had a 2012 MacBook Pro that I purchased this fun game on. Gameplay itself is immersive, graphics beautiful but I think the amount of RAM this game takes up killed my computer. I upgraded to a brand new MacBook Pro Retina SSD (2015) which runs clean, efficient & quiet. Civ V immediately caused the fan to spool up & run like crazy, killed what remaining battery I had left. Don’t recommond playing with other apps open & not unplugged. Don’t know if there’s a way to fix this problem...
