In El Capitan, I kept getting the X11 server error no matter what I did.
I finally got TA working. Here's how:
- Launch the game while holding the alt/option key (this should bring up a wineskin window)
- Click "Set Screen Options"
- In the "Other Options" section (lower right), there's an option: "Use Mac Driver instead of X11". (image attached) Make sure it's selected.
- Click done
- Quit the wineskin window.
- Launch the game normally.
Hope this helps anyone who was in the same situation as me.

I got it to work through a different approach than go_chan.
I also opened Wineskin like go_chan described.
I then updated the wrapper version to 2.6.2 - this one is confirmed to work under OS X 10.11. You need to have Wineskin Winery installed in order to get the latest wrapper version: http://wineskin.urgesoftware.com
I then changed the engine to WS9Wine1.7.52 - you also need to get the latest engines via Wineskin Winery before you can select them. Please note that when doing this you can not return to the custom GOG engine.
The game now works for me quite ok. Some save games don't work anymore but I can create new games and play without problem.

How exactly do I make it run? going in circles now on what i find in the internet. Wineskin, terminal commands, haven't found anything that works yet.
Any help welcome...
