It was one of those very first batch of games that Wine used to promote itself ;-)

Single player mode should be perfectly fine. Multiplayer mode which requires network may require some manual work (e.g. IPX and battle.net).

It has been the other way around for a while (8 years, apparently). Since UDP was added as a network option, there has been no need to use IPX.

The very oldschool drawing methods were the biggest issue with wine. I had it working ~6 years ago, but it wasn't exactly easy. PlayOnLinux helps a lot, though.

Pretty unlikely given they've never released a game for Linux before, despite having OpenGL support and internal builds.

Anyone know how well it runs on wine?

it works exceptionally well with wine

#3 [1] on the Top-10 Platinum list on WineHQ [2]. Platinum being "applications which install and run flawlessly on an out-of-the-box Wine installation."
