This is a known problem with older Intel GPUs. Try to use Wine 2.1. In most of case solve Direct3D glitch.

installing the game isn't any problem. Getting the game to start successfully is complicated, look here: www.reddit.com/r/aoe2/comments/dwuplr/how_to_run_age_of_empires_2_definitive_edition_on/
Your above error message suggest that wine isn't installed correctly or it is too old, make sure to get wine-staging 4.19 if you try to run it.

The game only runs on 64bit Windows, so you need 64 bit wine as well

This is the first time for me to download something to WineHQ. I want to download Age o Empires II from Steam but it didn't work. It says that „it's not available for you plattform“. What do I have to change in WineHQ to be able to download it and install it on my Mac?

However, upon building more units, buildings and/or exploring the map the game slowly chokes, but it only seems to affect selecting things with the mouse.
The selection rectangle initially just gets a bit choppy but later can lag behind as much as 10 seconds. Same thing with clicking on buildings or even the game menu button, the game might react 10 seconds later. The game is, understandably, unplayable at that point. Mouse scrolling on the other hand remains instant when the cursor reaches the edge.
There are some odd timing related things in the game anyway, so how much of this really has to do with Wine is unclear.

For me it is like if I point my cursor in any direction close to the edge, but not so far that it should start scrolling, the map is scrolled a tiny bit in that particular direction. After that tiny bit it stops.
After that pointing even more far to an edge, to actually scroll, it works just fine.

This also means both bugs linked (17273 and 31487) no longer apply.
