Hey there.

Unfortunately not, no. Phenom processors are not supported in Anno 1800. This is confirmed in our system requirements which you can find here[support.ubisoft.com]

None of the Anno games support MacOS so you would need something to run Windows programs like installing Windows on your Mac or programs like Paralleles or Boot Camp or Wine (might not work).

That GPU seems to be quite below the minimum requirement though.

That's for 1080p 30fps, you could decrease the resolution but I don't really know if that would give you stable fps.

I wouldn't really expect it to run well if it's even playable.

I'm not really that experienced and performance can be hard to estimate so take that with a grain of salt.

I think it would be fine (apart from the OS requirement) as the MacBook is 2019, but it's the smaller one. Game is from 2009 guys. I would expect it to run smoothly at 60-80% graphics settings. :berta:

He is talking about Anno 1800, not 1404.
Anno 1404 should work fine though. Maybe 2070 as well.

A developer of this app has indicated that this post answers the original topic.

Pretty nice how ubisoft is actually reading the forums. Only big publisher i can think of that does that.
