Hi PUN. There's an issue with the Linux build right now which means that it won't run out of the Steam client. We are aware of the issue, but we need to talk with Valve to try and figure out what's wrong... You can still launch the game, you just need to launch it directly. From the main announcement ( http://ageofwonders.com/open-beta-for-update-v1-5-kicks-off/ ):

There is currently an issue with launching the game on 64-bit Ubuntu when clicking ‘Play’ in the Steam Client. The game won’t boot.
Workaround:
1. Find the AoW3 steam install directory (Steam Library > AoW3 > Properties > Local Files > Browse Local Files)
2. Type: cd <AoW3InstallDirectory> (Replace by the directory found at step 1)
3. Type: ./AoW3Launcher.run ./AoW3Launcher.sh

Hope this works for you! If you run into any issues, please feel free to report them in our forums:
