Hi,
The Total war engine continues to bounce between garbage and silver never rising above that level given the installed user base would it be worth devoting more time to fixing the problems wine has with this? as of 1.29 its freezing and unusable. Wine project has to prioritize but success drives the project when people hear they can now do this or that that they couldn't before everyone is inspired its a virtuous circle.
Wine tends not to focus on individual applications when developing, however anyone is welcome to submit a patch that gets "their" application working, as long as it's not a poorly-designed hack that breaks other stuff or does things in the "wrong" way.
I'm also not sure what game you're referring to here; "Medieval 2: Total War" appears to work quite well, though the other Total War games don't seem to fair quite as well.
