What works
Menus and most gameplay with workaround.
Music (workaround).
What does not
Terrain and fog graphics are garbled
Workarounds
Menus and gameplay were made usable with the workaround found in other tests.
From
https://appdb.winehq.org/objec...:
1. The installer did not work after entering in the product key and presented this error about a missing DLL: "Cannot load pidgin.dll". This can be installed with winetricks:
$ winetricks mfc42
2. Sound did not work at all in game until directmusic was installed (which also installs dsound as a dependency):
$ winetrick directmusic
3. For getting the mouse to work, to disable the video in the
background of menus, and to skip the intro movie that doesn't work these
settings need to be defined in the "rise2.ini" configuration file:
$ vim drive_c/users/$USER/Application Data/Microsoft Games/Rise of Nations/rise2.ini
[RISE OF NATIONS]
ForceHardwareCursor=1
ForceGDICursor=1
ForceLowCPUBackgroundVid=1
SkipIntroMovies=1
Although the game worked near-flawlessly in the 2.0 releases, 3.0 has caused terrain and shadows to be incredibly buggy. This makes the game very hard to play.
What was not tested
Multiplayer, settings, tutorial campaigns
Hardware tested

You may have difficulty joining online multiplayer games. To resolve this, read this article from the FAQ.
There is a cursor bug that can:
To work around this, edit the rise2.ini file (~/.wine/drive_c/users/{user}/Application Data/Microsoft Games/Thrones and Patriots Trial/rise2.ini) and set "ForceGDICursor=1".

I'd used wineprefix linked with separated directory. Before installing I executed next commands:
export WINEPREFIX="my/home/dir/my/game/dir"
wineboot -u
Then I installed everything wine wants (mono and gecko)
winetricks sound=pulse
winetricks directx9
winecfg
In opened window, section libraries, I removed all overrides. Then:
winetricks directmusic
cd dir/with/rise.exe
wine rise.exe
And it works! Cursor and sound too.
Thanks!

I used a fresh copy of Ubuntu 12.04 "Precise" amd64.
A fresh copy of Wine 1.9.6
And a fresh copy of Winetricks
The date is March 30th, 2016.
Using winetricks I installed the following .dlls:
dx3dx9 MS d3dx9_??.dll from DirectX 9 redistributable. (To get the ingame menu working)
directmusic (To get sound working)
dsound (Im unsure if this one was necessary)
directplay (To get networking working)
vcrun6 (For the installer to work, i believe)
vcrun6sp6 (For the installer to work, i believe)
The rest of the .dlls were automatically selected by winetricks.
I then updated the rise2.ini file to include SkipIntroMovies=1 and ForceLowCPUBackgroundVid=1
After forwarding the necessary port on the router(Default:34987), I was able to connect the the game my brother was hosting.
I have no idea if my computer would be able to host a game.
directplay is REQUIRED to host a multiplayer game.

I can confirm that LAN game works fine with version 1.7.43 even over hamachi. In fact the whole game works just fine (I had to install mfc40, mfc42, msxml4 and possibly directplay).
