Mac installation but GOG only offers Windows HoMM2 install?

Your question

Hello, I was able to install fheroes2 on my M1 macbook pro via homebrew without a problem. My next step is to get the original HoMM2 game installed. The documentation recommends I install the GOG game version but it is only installable on Windows. How does this work? Thank you!

Hi @ronikobrosly it seems that, unfortunately, you will need to use Windows either on a VM (Windows for ARM has an x86 emulation layer) or on another x86 PC to install the original HoMM2 from GOG store.

@ronikobrosly you can try extract game files from GOG installer via innoextract.
