Civilization IV

[zorkerz]

I am a huge fan of the civ series since early civ II. Lately i have taken to playing freeciv in ubuntu breezy because im to lazy to run windows for civ III. As civilization IV has come out this week I was wondering if anyone has attempted or plans to attemp to play it in breezy, through wine or wineX, I avoid cedega because i don't want to pay the fees. Its half the reason im on ubuntu. Anyway I would like to find out the status of playing Civ IV on Ubuntu.

I'm buying it, hopefully today. I'll give it a go and let you know it goes. Civ rocks!

REALLY doubt it'll run, but you never know. btw there's a thread about civ4 on the gentoo forums aswell.

People can get it to install, but they can't run it. I think it has something to do with the copywrite protection. Err... that's on cedega.

doesn't work YET I'd say.

Also I've heard people running this on windows98, I wouldn't give up hope of seing this working in cedega or even directxwine fairly fast. //edit 1 "The Graphics Engine Civilization IV will be using is the NDL's Gamebryo 3D graphics engine. Firaxis' PC hit, Sid Meier's Pirates! also uses it.", and if I remember correctly pirates does work in some emulators. //edit 2 http://www.winehq.org/hypermail/wine...5/01/0460.html

Does cedega run windows apps that are not games such as such as office, if yes I tempted to get cedega and run CIV IV in it
