The Cranky Sysadmin

Civilization IV seems to work well on wine 1.27 these days. The only addition I had to make was the installation of the MS MXL utilities. I did this with “winetricks msxml3″. Find winetricks by searching on the wine home page. The install was smooth, and the game plays without any obvious anomolies. My only caveat is that I have installed a lot of other libraries, like directX 9 for other games like EVE and oblivion, so your installation may require more steps then mine did.
