Thanks for the tutorials. It really helped. However, I do have two issues that maybe someone might be able to help me with. First, I can see trees! They are there and i can chop them down but I can see them which is fairly tedious. Second, the game only gives me ten turns when I play a regular game. I can turn off a time victory in the the custom game but not just in regular play. Any ideas?

@shoe99

I was having the “wizard interrupted” message too. I tried putting the d3dx9_26.dll in system32 and it worked great!!

I’m having the exact same problem as Shoe99 under Gutsy with Wine 0.9.51. Any solution?

I’m new at trying to get games to run in Linux. Where does one go to get a cracked executable? Is it really necessary if I have the actual installation disks?

Hi,

Thank you for this guide…
But i have a problem. Chause the “My Games” folder doesn’t exist, the game will not start.
Can I chreate this folder manually? If I do so, how does wine realize that this folder is the Windows My Games folder?

Jens,
The INI file is created by the game the first time it is run.

Hmm, I don’t have that INI file …
