I could use some feedback before I risk $140 bucks on a game that may or may not work?

Is there a way to buy the game then add it to my steam collection?

Can I use the latest iteration of Wine with this?

I have Ubuntu 24.04

I want to get this if they ever implement an ai to play against.

Well, I see it in euros, but I still think it costs about 100$

An advice: if you are not too eager to get it, I have seen it down to 50% or even 20% of that price in periodical special offers.

This is a wonderful game, or could be, but you need to know:

- That it has some very nasty bugs that are not addressed by the developer, and will probably not be for a long time if ever. If you play yoy'll need to learn to edit the game data txt, and it aint easy.
. That unless you are a WIF player previously (the board game) there will be a lot of things that you'll not understand and a lot of things that you don't know you can do, unless you learn them through practice with other veteran players, in spite of the manual and/or tutorials.

1) I don't believe there is a steam license for MWiF
2) I don't believe that this windows game will work on linux
3) You might be able to get it to work on linux if you create a Virtual Machine and run windows on linux

Do not pay more than $20US. It's on sale for that price regularly.

I have Linux Mint 21.2. There used to be a lag issue, but with Wine 10.0 game runs great. That said, as others mentioned, I'd wait for a sale as in different distros you may have different results.
