I simply won't buy it until there's a Linux version. It's pretty much my rule for games these days...if I have to reboot to play, I know I'll almost never play, so I just don't buy Windows-only games.

I only switched to Civ V from IV because it has a Linux version (and Civ IV does not, though it does run reasonably well under Wine, though I hate the fiddling required to keep Wine and GPu drivers happy through OS upgrades and such). Civ V runs as well under Linux as it does under Windows; not perfect, mind you, but it's not perfect under Windows either.

Civ 4 works well under wine until you research the calendar. Then you need to save, exit to the main menu and load the game again.

Well, don't get me wrong. I play Civ 4 under wine every other day. I think it works great, except for that bug that would appear every game.
