All the errors I can see seems to occur before I starts the same "Starting app 235620" but any advice on how to fix the situation would be nice ;)

Well, that hasn't gone to plan and now, I've got a problem and question for other Linux users:
Small World installs fine and is clearly a Linux title. Running it from the Steam client and immediately stops. Running it in a terminal with the following command - gives an error:
/home/games/steam/steamapps/common/SmallWorld2$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/.steam/bin32/ ~/.steam/bin32/steam-runtime/run.sh ./Small\ World\ 2
./Small World 2: /home/games/steam/steamapps/common/SmallWorld2/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `CXXABI_1.3.8' not found (required by /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libicuuc.so.67)
As yet, I haven't been able to resolve this further. Any suggestions?
(Of course, I've tried looking for and installing various C++ libraries but nothing has succeeded as yet.)
It'd be nice to report Small World native Linux version working properly. :/

Maybe try symlinking or copying your system libstdc++.so.6 lib over the one in the game folder?
My understanding with steam games is that valve uses fairly old libraries. Is bet your system lib wants something newer from the game libraries.
I had to replace a bunch of libs that way a number of years ago to play HalfLife as what it shipped with was too old for my system. I believe I just copied them over.
Sorry if you've already tried that.

I never even concidered that it might have a linux port - the above error is that it's using the native library for internationalization but a local version of the libstdc++.
The windows version does provide a local version of libicuuc : steamapps/common/SmallWorld2/libicuuc.dll
if it does you could try to preload it to force it to use that by adding the SmallWorld2 folder to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH
I did try
STEAM_RUNTIME_PREFER_HOST_LIBRARIES=0but that had no effect.I may try to install the native version again sometime this weekend if I've some tinker time
