Linux / wine for Galciv 2?

Hello all.  I am wanting to buy a copy of GalCIV 2 on steam. Is there any reason to think it won't run if i run stardock under wine? I'd like to know before i shell out the cash.

I have seen it run on the same machine with an old cd I have.  I've lost the key though.  And I want to play with metaverse so I'm itching to get updates and what not for the entire series. And hell, its worth buying a 2nd time anyway. I routinely buy musician's CD's 2 and 3 times over again at their concerts.
