AOE3 should not freeze at start of a new game after only a couple of clicks on characters.
I installed AOE3 (probably 1.12 version or more recent) following the howto instruction found in AppDB). As the installation process could not be pursued until its end, I had to copy an existing AOE3 file structure from a Windows XP to my ubuntu drive. I also used a nocd fix (one for 1.12 version). I could then launch the game (wine age3.exe), see and hear the intro cinematics, use the main menu and start a new game (1st as well as 2nd tutorial). I could see the background and first units and move the screen around. But I could not click more than twice anywhere (especially when clicking on a unit for selecting it). The game would freeze and error messages would be displayed in the console. Than aoe3 dies. See attachment.
