What works
Gameplay:
While running the tutorial scenarios, the narrator's voice often got cut off when he had something new to say. I could understand him enough to get the gist of things. The game may be running faster than it's supposed to. The people don't seem to be moving super fast but buildings go up a lot quicker than I would expect. Could have been because I was playing the tutorial scenarios and they designed them to go faster than normal games.
What does not
Skills test crashes. Had to kill wine with wineserver -k
Intro movies are terribly choppy. Unwatchable so I disabled them.
Workarounds
What was not tested
Multiplayer:
After clicking "Local Area Network or Direct Internet" the game was unable to detect my network connection. I did not test the Gamespy method because I didn't install it. I assume it wouldn't work since my network connection can't be detected.
Hardware tested
Graphics:
Additional Comments
To enable sound I had to use apply the sound bug fix. When applying the bug fix I assumed I was fine with d3dx9 having already been installed via winetricks. Turned out I needed to winetricks directx9. Then I had to copy gm.dls from my windows partition to ~/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/system32/drivers/ To fix mouse problem I had to edit these lines in rise2.ini (see mouse problem bug fix for location) ForceHardwareCursor=0 to 1 ForceLowCPUBackgroundVid=0 to 1 Changing ForceGDICursor did nothing for me so it remains 0 Needed to winetricks allcodecs for intro movies to work.

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).
