Well.. After some testing I don't belive that it is fully playable yet. I had several crashes when trying to play.As for the font issue, it seems to be connected to newline marking. But this gives hope that we can play GalCiv2 from linux someday.

umm.. I bought the game from store so I had the installation disk locally. And as for the update I downloaded the patch from this site and installed it also by using wine. I don't own any windows machines so I haven't even tried the stardock service..
Yes I am serious.. I almost didn't belive my eyes when I saw the game actually start. I have only played for couple of turns so I haven't done very good testing yet.. I'm currently busy so I can write so instructions later. But basicly grab the newest version of wine (0.9.29 released 9.1.2007) and use it to install the game and update the game to 1.4x. It should run without any changes to winecfg // hefa
Victory! I tried the newest version of wine (0.9.29) and got the game working on linux.. the previous version didn't work, but this works.. (well some fonts were presented as blocks but that doesnt affect the gameplay. )
