The Settlers 3 works without major issues with all the current Wine versions.
Below is a list of versions with known major problems:
This game requires much more processing power than it should, so unless you are using a relatively fast computer, it may run slowly (Bug 32478).
The used graphics card may also be of importance here: with NVIDIA (binary driver) the game is the fastest on Linux, with INTEL the slowest.
A workaround which makes at least the lag occurring every few seconds go away, is to start Settlers 3 on 1 CPU only with:
taskset -c 0 wine S3.EXE
If you want to play online using the aLobby, you have to start the aLobby the same way:
taskset -c 0 wine alobby.exe
Wine 1.7 packages from the ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa <1.7.34 are affected by the following bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/wine/+bug/1393196. Because of that it is *strongly* recommended, to update to 1.7.34 or newer, when using that PPA.
Wine packages from other sources and self-compiled builds from the official Wine sources are not affected by this bug. Wine versions <= 1.6.2 Ubuntu packages are also not affected.
