Additional Comments
MacBook Air 13" Mid-2013, Mac driver (not X11). Doesn't work out of the box: intro plays just fine, but after it ends (or when it's skipped) screen resizes and freezes, see: https://youtu.be/ZcybZuW6AvA I've added "PlayIntro=0" to the bottom of steamapps/Sid Meier's Civilization III Complete/Conquests/conquests.ini file, which has solved this issue. However, sound is off. Infinite loops, stuttering, sometimes music just stops playing. Couldn't figure out how to fix that.

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.
