I'd probably rather run the Win version on my Mac anyways, as Wine seemed to run Civ4 a bit better than the "native" Mac port Aspyr threw together.... up until the last expansion and patch, for years the "native" Mac port ran horrible and was extremely buggy. Its pretty bad when Wine can run things faster/better than a "native" port selling for 1.5X the price of the Windows version.
Just wanted to let you all know that Civilization 5 works just fine for me in Directx9 under Ubuntu 10.04LTS 64bit. - sudo apt-get install wine ( running wine-1.1.42 ) - downloaded steam from their website - bought and installed civ5 on steam - installed directx 9 to wine using winetricks ( google this if you need ) - started civilization5.exe ( not the dx11 executable but the dx9 one ) Played 14 hours straight :) No crash, no lag. Enjoy !
