The Steam version does not work because the game was rebuilt to use DirectX10 instead of DirectX9. That includes the base Rise of Nations game, the Thrones and Patriots expansion, and the Gold Edition. #!/bin/bash # Rise of Nations - Play On Linux script # Version: 0.1.0 # Installation Requirements: # wine 1.7.18, directmusic, dsound, mfc40, mfc42, msvcirt, msxml4, vcrun6 # Author: # Website: & exit 0 source "$PLAYONLINUX/lib/sources" # enable debugging POL_Debug_Init # set global variables TITLE="Rise of Nations" PREFIX="RoN" FULL_POL_PREFIX="$HOME/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/$PREFIX" GAME_PATH="$FULL_POL_PREFIX/drive_c/Program Files/Microsoft Games/Rise of Nations" # start the installation window POL_SetupWindow_Init POL_SetupWindow_presentation "$TITLE" "Big Huge Games" "" "EkulTails" "$PREFIX" # tell the user's about compatibility POL_SetupWindow_message "This PlayOnLinux script will work with any version of the non-Steam Rise of Nations game.

I'm having some trouble with the PlayOnLinux code tags, but the script is still readable from my inital post. POL_SetupWindow_message "Installation successfully completed.

The introduction and main menu videos do not work so they are disabled. Outside of Wine, the Rise of Nations configuration file at "drive_c/users/$USER/Application Data/Microsoft Games/Rise of Nations/rise2.ini" is tweaked.

This can be ignored and this script does notify the user about it before it executes the launcher. There is a false-positive report from PlayOnLinux that says that Wine has crashed when launching the installer.

The additional depdencies required for sound and video to work properly are: directmusic, dsound, mfc40, mfc42, msvcirt, msxml4, and vcrun6. This relies on Wine 1.7.18, a version known to work really well with Rise of Nations. Since the game engine was redesigned to utilize DirectX 10 instead of DirectX 9 there are some Wine compatibility issues. Please note, that it does NOT support Rise of Nations: Extended Edition from Steam.
