Anno 1701 for Mac

Game Details:

Welcome to the Anno 1701 for Mac game page. This page contains information + tools how to port Anno 1701 so you can play it on your Mac just like a normal application. So if you haven’t Crossover yet, then sign up here and buy the program or if you want to test it first, for the 14 days trial. Or use the Porting Kit alternative.

Other ported “Anno series” games on the site are: Anno 1602, Anno 1503, Anno 1404 and Anno 2070.

I recommend to buy the GOG.com version which is DRM free and works straight away out of the box. Used that version in the video. Click on the links mentioned here, create an account using the signup in the top bar on the GOG.com website and buy the game. You automatically get when creating an account 14 free GOG games (+ some dlc’s) added to your account so you have nothing to loose, only to receive! Make sure the setup file is downloaded into your download folder before running the Crosstie, so that Crossover recognizes the file and launches the setup automatically.

Install is simple:
1. Get Porting Kit or Crossover if you don’t have it yet.
2. Then download the GOG.com setup files from Anno 1701 from GOG.
3. Then use this CrossTie… to install the game into Crossover, or in Porting Kit search the game on the library –> server tab and click install.
4. After installation of the game, “exit” the GOG installer.
5. Click “Play” to start the game! Have fun!
