Age of Empires Rise of Rome still doesn't run on xubuntu 12.04, wine 1.4.
Retest in the latest development release, currently 1.5.6.
Can't test 1.5. It's not ready for download from winehq.
When you upgraded Xubuntu, did you reinstall your graphics driver? You should. You should also try the proprietary Nvidia driver.
A long time ago I tried the Nvidia driver and it caused my computer to not work and I had a hard time getting it to work again. I won't even consider trying the Nvidia driver again on this computer.
