Well, Civ3 requires DirectX. I don't think unix or linux supports this. You might get away with Civ2

AFAIK, there are no plans for a Linux port. However, the other emulator is better than Wine, forgot the name right now... Civ 3 is something way too complex for Wine.

I don't know if it runs under VMWare+Win98, but it's definitely worth a try. VMWare is available as free 30 days test version, so if it doesn't work, at least it was gratis.
