(This is for future people searching for this topic. I don't want CC3+ to come across as anything but stable to those looking in from the outside.)

1. Yes, it was exactly that straightforward for me.
2. The "tin" never promised WINE.
3. CC3+ has been very stable for me in a few different situations including WINE on a Macbook. Actually, it's been 2 Macbooks, since I migrated CC3+ to a new model recently.

Again, this is for future people searching for "CC3 in WINE." It works well for me.

Hello. Did you install the Visual C runtime? I seem to recall having to do that.

I will leave that to Xargun, as that is the owner of the maps. I also refrained from posting them here to avoid spoilers for the players!

I was asked to do everything but the roads, settlements, and labels. That left just the basics to do. I had a lot of fun doing it.

An interesting note: We selected SS1b as the style. I used that for everything including the symbols. I eventually split some things into their own sheets, like the hills vs mountain areas. I think I made my own river style based on the existing lake style. The point is that I used only what was in that style and nothing outside of it. Rather, I tried to do that. I somehow got some Darklands hill symbols in there. I don't know how that happened. It turned out to be good because the hills went well on that map. The downside was Xargun had to buy that annual. (Though I think one can never have too many annuals.)

Brilliant. Thank you for the tip. That explains everything.

Hello. I use the default Wine on the latest Debian. It works well with no problems at all. FT3+ requires the 32-bit installer, but everything else needs nothing special.

The license is technically tied to you, not the installation. I suppose the legality of running it in two places at the same time might be in question, but I guarantee you that nobody in the world would fault you for installing it to test!

Good luck.
