Space Empires with Wine
Out of curiousity, has anyone ever tried running either Space Empires III or IV on Linux using the Wine windows enviroment layer? Of course, I'll see for myself once I get my se4 CD back in a couple days, but it would be nice to know ahead of time.

Oh, a serious thread. And I thought it was a reincarnation of this thread right here.

Re: Space Empires with Wine
Hah! Fooled ya!
Anyways, it appears that SEIV -does- work on Linux, for which I'm grateful.
The only two problems I've run into so far is some text running over their alotted space (which is easy enough to ignore), and a problem with the design creation window not popping up when I hit "create" (which is badbadbad). If anyone has any suggestions in fixing this, shoot away.

I prefer my Space Empires with a Martini, stirred, not shaken.

Re: Space Empires with Wine
I thought Wine was sued by microsoft for copyright infringements and the project halted?

Re: Space Empires with Wine
Wine and SEIV do not mix. I always loose when I try that. If you are going to make sure it is a "blood red" wine.
Seriously,
I may now have a reason to run a Linux box. Cool. I love to not use Micro$ponge when I can.

Re: Space Empires with Wine
It might not have been Wine then, but I do know Microshaft shutdown a program company that was making a Version of Linux to be user friendly.
