I have reviewed the command being executed and tried the command copied from the launcher as well as the shorter "standard" form. (WINEPREFIX=... wine /.../something.exe) But whenever I run it in a terminal I get all of the errors and then it exits.
Are you running it from where CIV4 was installed like:

$HOME/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Civ4

If not, this may be why you receive a bunch of errors and then it quits.

Also, please go to the Civ 4 entry in the Applications Database.  There 
may be hints on how to run it from the Command Line in Linux.
