NB: The fair smattering of the console commands I remember for this game worked 'as expected' as well.
What does not
I searched hard and could find no aspect of this program that didn't work normally and perform as well as on windows.
Workarounds
What was not tested
Time constraints stopped me testing as many mods as I'd have liked.
Hardware tested

Additional Comments
The whole game seems completely indistinguishable from running it on windows, and it can be run ludicrously quickly through wine. I'd like to see benchmarks because I suspect it may actually be quicker in like-for-like tests - although I'm using about 5 times less ram before loading it on gnu/linux. For these reasons I'm rating it as Platinum.

Well, nothing much to it. Just dump in the CD, do "wine setup.exe" and it installs beautifully without a hitch. after that one may want to use the no-cd patch and then just execute the stvoy.exe and stvoyhm.exe files for single and multi player respectively. ( the no-cd files are not required, the game works perfectly from CD or by a mounted iso )
