Empire Earth Mac
Great news! Because of some persistence of brainzyy of the forums, we got finally Empire Earth Mac working properly! This page contains information + tools how to port Empire Earth in a few very simple steps (which even a noob can understand) so you can play it on your Mac just like a normal application. Check also one of the other over 1000 game ports on this website! Check the homepage to search and for latest news! You can port games using Porting Kit (free), or the commercial (more professional software) Crossover or Parallels Desktop (a very easy to use Virtual Machine with Windows 11) both have a 14 day trial period. Feel free to use the application which fits you best or use a combination of the 3 apps.
Install/Porting is simple:
1. Get Porting Kit or Crossover if you don’t have it yet.
2. Then download the GOG.com setup files from Empire Earth from GOG (offline backup setup installer files).
3. Then 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!
Alternatively there is also Parallels Desktop (a very easy to use Virtual Machine with Windows 11 (free trial of 14 days)) where the game will work fine as well. More info about that up here: https://www.paulthetall.com/parallels-desktop/
Game Description:
Control the destiny of a fledgling civilization through as many as 500,000 years of human history. From meagre beginnings you must exploit the natural resources around you to build an empire capable of dominating the Earth. But your rise to supremacy will not go unchallenged. As was the case throughout history, rival civilizations are certain to oppose you every step of the way.
New technologies, buildings and weapons become available as your civilization progresses through history. But bear in mind that advancement does not necessarily mean success. Your civilization might flourish during one Epoch only to be crushed in the next…
- The Gold Edition includes the original Empire Earth and the expansion pack The Art of Conquest
- Recreate and take part in the greatest battles in human history
- The evolution of war from prehistoric times to the hypothetical “nano era”

hi Paul,
thanks for the great guide. i’ve been trying to port Empire Earth following your tutorial, but as i can tell i’m having the same problem lots of other people are having, that is:
after i’ve downloaded the offline version of the game from the GOG website and have it in the downloads folder, I click on install, and once i get to the advanced options the installer crashes. don’t know how i can fix that. I’m running a Catalina mac, in case that helps, and am running the 4k beta porting kit.
would really appreciate a hand on this, and thanks for the fantastic work.
keep it up!

Hey thanks for the great instructions. Took a few tries but I got it and it’s been a last!
I was wondering if I wanted to play a friend who is playing on a pc (I’m on a Mac) would I be able to?
Thanks again!
Best,
Art
Hi, I’ve successfully installed the game but when i’m playing, i can’t direct any people using the mouse. I click the guy and when i attempt to move him, nothing happens. very strange
So does it work or no ? Seems like no one has a good experience
