I've tried it today with wine 3.8. The game starts but without graphics. I can hear the music an get the mousepointer the rest of the screen is black.
Setting the directxversion back to 9 solved the problem.

This fixed it for me.
1. Download the 4GB patch from
www.ntcore.com/files/4gb_patch.zip
2. Go to the game folder:
cd '/home/[username]/.wine/drive_c/GOG Games/Anno 1404 Gold Edition'
3. Extract the 4gb_patch to the game folder.
4. Execute in your terminal (backup is automatically created):
wine 4gb_patch.exe Anno4.exe
5. Optional; patch the Venice Addon:
wine 4gb_patch.exe Addon.exe
