Additional Comments
It would crash after the 2k Games intro. In order to get it to stop crashing I had to change my resolution to the games resoltion prior to starting the game. Once I changed my resolution to 1024x768 then start the game I had no more crashes. If needed you can probably make a script to change the resolution before the game is started and change back to normal once finished. I had the xfce4 panel show up during full screen. Unchecking "Allow the window manager to control the windows" under Graphics in winecfg got rid of it. Check "Automatically capture the mouse in full-screen windows" under Graphics in winecfg if you want the mouse to stay in game during full-screen. There is a small sound glitch when a unit mouse. Doesn't effect the game. Not sure how to get around it besides turning down SoundFX in Preferences.

This is the most frequent sound which is buggy, for the other sounds disable sound FX and enable it again as mentioned before.

Using hexedit, search (ctrl+s) for the 3rd instance of 0x6383 in gdi32.dll and change it to 0x0114 and the black terrain issue is fixed (should work for any variant of civ3).

(after obtaining winetricks, wiki.winehq.org/Winetricks)
winetricks d3dx11_43 dotnet452 vcrun2010
If you get errors during the winetricks run, try deleting the temp directories contents (for me being in ~/.cache/winetricks and ~/.wine/dosdevices/c\:/windows/temp/) and running the winetricks command again!
Note this requires access to the internet as it downloads extra files for installation.
