You can create NTFS image file, mount it and copy Civ file from Civ folder in
Steamapps folder.
Then you can add the entry to the /etc/fstab file like this

<disk image file> /home/user/$steamfolder/drive_c/blablabla/Civilization\ V
ntfs loop 0 0

So it will mount automagically from start-up. No need to use separate
wineprefix.
