Mac OS and Linux
The Mac OS and Linux versions of the game are no longer sold, and existing copies of those are hard to run on modern systems. The easiest solution for running the game on Linux or OS X is buying the Windows version and running it under Wine. Further information on how to do that can be found on AppDB. Alternatively, VCMI can be used to run the game.
DLC and expansion packs
| Name | Notes | |
|---|---|---|
| Armageddon's Blade | On Mac OS only available in Complete Edition. | |
| The Shadow of Death | On Mac OS only available in Complete Edition. | |
