What works
Gameplay works a treat and the ingame sounds are there. Textures are rendered fine. Random map gameplay and scenarios work. You can read the history as well.
What does not
No music. Can be solved in AOE one by installing timidity. In AOE II this problem is caused by the fact that the collectors edition doesn't come with the music required.
Workarounds
What was not tested

Multiplayer
To get multiplayer working you have to use by now the directplay libraries from microsoft, still (since 2006) no open source libraries for direct play that include libraries to open sockets and close to play games, so install winetricks:
(in ubuntu/debian) sudo apt-get install winetricks
and then exec:
winetricks directplay
It will download the directplay libraries from microsoft and install them, that's all, tcp/ip will work with direct connect.
If you get only a black screen upon starting a game
winetricks ddr=gdi (see https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43627)winetricks csmt=off (see https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44796)

after wine 2.13, fix it with winetricks ddr=gdi (see bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43627)
after wine 3.2, fix it with winetricks csmt=off (see bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44796)
