My personal laptop is a Dell which only runs Ubuntu Linux. I cried to myself for a while and told myself - don’t whine, time to set up Wine. Civ is apparently a very popular series of games and I was very, very underwhelmed. To my horror it was turn based! And the map had actual tiles! I was shocked people loved this. I had bought it thinking it would be similar to AoE or AoM.
Now I have never played any version of Civ.
However, I had an unopened box of Civilization VI for the Switch. But - I did not have a Windows machine available. The dream set alight a fire inside of me. It was based on the older Age of Empire series which I had also played and loved. The last time I had played Age of Mythology was in high school, 15-18 years ago! AoM was my first introduction to Norse, Egyptian and Greek mythologies. This Saturday morning I woke up from a dream where I was playing Age of Mythology. Or read on for an account of a well spent Saturday. To see the precise instructions, you can jump to the section titled How to run AoM on Linux. Today I will show you how you can run Age of Mythology(AoM) on Linux.
