Linux?

[unmerged(32229)]

Has anyone tried getting this working in Linux?

I haven't tried it with Wine yet, but I am guessing it *ough* to work since its not using any fancy 3d graphics.

I can't imagine the developers do their work in a windows environment ..? Are there any linux binaries around? Surely all you need is a binary and the data files from the retail CD?

Anyway, wine first, altho native support would be nice.

It works just fine under WineX 3.2.1-1 on a hand-built Linux 2.4.23 kernel.

Only way to know if it will work on your system is to try it.
It is not a supported operating system though so you do so at your own risk.
Having said that I have heard reports of people getting Paradox games to work under Linux.

2.4.23?

What century was that stable?

Cool .. I had read through the Wine bug reports and tbh it was all to do with install shield. If you already have an unpacket installation I guess its fine.

all the games of parad work with winex. see www.transgaming.org. ive posted there under zerby.

cedega is the name nowadays (winex 4).

2 problems: no music (but sound effects), and: no online gaming.

i remember that a linux company (linux game publishing..???) was considering or negogiating with paradox games to port it.
