Civ5 is now available on Linux through SteamOS. There is a discount just for today.
There (http://store.steampowered.com/sale/civilizationfranchise)

Maybe Beam is interested? :)
I myself don't care because I don't want to play Civ5 and I don't want to use Steam. But this is going in a good direction.

Beam saw this earlier today (at that other site where I went for some obscure reason for the first time this year lol) and when getting home immediately verified my Civ V Windo$e license actually worked in Ubuntu and right after that spend a whopping 13 euros on the Complete Edition. :D

Omg, omg, omg, omg :eek: :eek: Been waiting for years for this :D

Plays like a charm and the only thing I have to sort out is how to get higher vid resolutions working.

Screen resolution is solved as well so I'm playing at 1920x1080 without a glitch and good fps atm. The response from the Linux community at Steam is simply amazing btw :D and it seems to run very well on wide variety of hw and linux distros. The port is native btw so no involvement of Wine.

It's still civ5. Plays like a charm, no depth.

Most games I've been playing the last year are available as a Linux version: CK2, EU4 and TF2. It's a shame you don't like Steam, since you definitely should be playing the first two.
