We already gave you confirmation that Stronghold 3 Gold was heaving to Linux, but in the past week it seems there has been more progress.
On the SteamDB entry for it a few days ago this popped up:
Hopefully we won't be kept waiting too long to try it. The reviews are a bit mixed on it, so hopefully the Linux version will be fixed up.

No, all looks like this is another eON wrapper port doing by Virtual Programming like The Witcher 2...
Look at this http://www.deliver2mac.com/products/stronghold3
VP have own shop, and delivery this only yours Mac ports build in eON wrapper - like The Witcher 2 and many other games. For now they build only one Linux game but shop is only for Mac for now.
Stronghold 3 is delivery on other platform from VP and I have very bad feeling that this is another eon.

My I ask, what so bad with Eon port, and what does that really mean for the games?

Nothing wrong too much if it is used for old games as this game. Because there aren't too many companies which would do a native port like feral or Aspyre and eon port should cost much more cheaper. As stronghold 3 is not so graphics intensive as Witcher 2 and eon is starting to mature I do not think it will have so many problems as Witcher 2 had at the lunch. I think we will see many eon ports in the future for old games but I hope no eon port for new ones.

This game came out initially in 2011 - what is your definition of old?
It certainly does not appear to be the same as mine.

And yet I just recently played a native port of LIMBO made four years after the original Windows release and three years after its initial Linux release as a Crossover wrapper.
If an independent studio can manage it, why can't Firefly? I do not see the need to handhold developers closer to AAA but then turn around and see Indies outdoing them.

There are some developers who care abbout theyr name and will try to deliver decent port just for that and those who only wants to earn something. You canot expect to earn a lot with old games so I think eon is ment for them. I think companyes like feral and aspyre made linux ports for civ5 and xcom not to earn a lot of money but to earn a name for them selvs as excelent companyes securing market for next ports.

I am with Hamish on this one. Companies like Frozenbyte and Playdead that put what is seemingly considered above and beyond extraordinary effort for their ancient games may have my money, whereas the others may not. Simple.

Yes, and I do not think it can be considered entitled of us to expect this when we do actually support the developers that do give us the level of support we want. I was one of the harshest critics of putting a Crossover wrapper into a Humble Bundle, but here I am cheering Playdead on now and being very happy to be able to do so.
I can hear the counter that it is better to simply have more games on Linux and that we should just be glad of anything we get, but then again, this is Stronghold 3 we are talking about which to be honest is pretty much reviled even on Windows. Now, if they made a WINE wrapper release of the original Stronghold or Stronghold: Crusader, well, that might be a different matter...
Now, those games I would agree are old.
