How to run GoG Anno 1404 Gold Edition on Linux?

Just a short one this evening as a reminder for myself. My son wanted to try a real time stratagy game, and because my wife loved the Anno series of games years ago, we wanted to give it a shot.

It is available on Steam, but for some idiotic reason this 15 year old game seems to need an Ubisoft account there, what sucks.

But it is also available on GOG.com for half of the price, so i gave it a shot there.

Unfortunately installing it on my CachyOS Machine was not a breeze, until i found the right combination.

And that is using Heroic Game Launcher with Wine-GE 8-26. With that version installed via the Heroic Game Launcher it worked right away. With other Versions i only got a blackscreen while hearing the music of the game.

Hope that helps someone.
