What works
-Tutorial
-Playing on the real-time map
What does not
-the world map is very slow, about 3 fps, which makes it unplayable ((In windows this game runs flawlessly, over 40fps))
-some textures are not being displayed
-it is impossible to rotate the camera the normal way
-after about 20 seconds in the menu the game locks (wine error). If you have already started a game then it will just continue to work. Otherwise you will have to kill rometw.exe
-starting the campaign will return you to the main menu
