AoM is, strictly saying, a *Windows client* and, as such, expects an environment capable of understanding the Windows API. On linux, for obvious reasons, that is not available natively. [http://www.winehq.com/ Wine] gives linux users that environment. Due to the complexity of the Windows API, Wine is unable to run every Windows program flawlessly. Some work fine, some don't.

As of 0.6.306 (AoM) and 20041201 (Wine), AoM runs on wine with nearly no feature loss. It uses around 23 MiBs of resident memory on linux with wine, against 9 MiBs on windows. It is expected that, after features are implemented and AoM 0.6 becomes a full working client, the resident memory difference of 14 MiBs will not grow much.
