There are a few annoying glitches here and there, mostly audio related, but it does seem to mostly work and is fairly stable. One weakness that AoE reveals in Wine though is that it needs to get better Midi support, which could be done quite simply by giving it proper Timidity support. As it is, assuming you have Timidity++ installed, you can get some Midi support through Wine by launching a Timidity sound server from a terminal using the following command:
timidity -iA
But even then it is still not the best as there can be long load times between tracks. Still, an improvement on how it was from when I first was able to fully migrate over to Linux. :)

I remember running the Rise of Nations trial through Wine back in 2007 as well, it also ran pretty well, though I never got the sounds working. I must add though that was more likely my Wine setup back then, Wine and audio needs a bit more work in my experience.
Once 0 A.D. is released i'm pretty sure that will fill a nice hole in my Linux gaming life.
