Be sure to use Wine version 0.9.16 if you are using the CD (you can join a multiplayer game without the CD).
When start the game, the screen is black. Switch to another program (Alt + Tab) and then back to the game, and it should appear.
Elements such as taskbars designed to cover other applications are not
hidden when Warlrods Battlecry is run in full-screen. This can be fixed
by not allowing the window manager to control Wine applications (can be
changed in winecfg), or by changing the taskbar's options so that
windows are allowed to cover it.
Multiplayer To get multiplayer working, place the DLLs in this archive
in Wine's windows/system32 directory. Then, start winecfg and add dll
overrides (native, builtin) for the following DLLs: dplayx, dpnet,
dpnhpast and dpwsockx. NOTE: the game freezes when exiting a multiplayer game.

Still not working quite right

Using the April 8th, 2006 patch, Battlecry still isn't working. While most of it works, it crashes when choosing to build items in the keep. (Also, the buttons are blank. Odd, as the screenshots show the buttons.)
Debian, ATI official drivers, V 8.24.8. Battlecry 1.0 and 1.0.3.
