I have the retail Age of Empires and the Conquerors expansion. I had no problem installing it. I had a problem getting it to run, because it kept asking for the cd, when the disk was already in the drive. Thanks to a search here, I discovered that I needed to go into wine cfg, and add the cd drive. I did that. Success. I got the game to start up. But... When I try to play a single player game, it again says that I have to insert the cd, if I want to play a single-player game. Any ideas what I can do ?
if its legal where you are... try to get a no-disc hack/patch version so you can play without a disc check.

Took some searching to find one that would even work on my installation. I guess there must not be that many legitimate store-bought copies of this game, out there. LOL The crack worked on the game, but it killed the game, as far as working in wine is concerned. Try to play it after the crack, and all you get is a wine error box saying we're sorry, but we had to close this. I put it back to normal. Now I have to find the answer to the question.
