I'd update my test result if I could...

Well, the only reason I didn't try a wine based install is that the download is
about one gigabyte in size. Did you have troubles installing in wine?

> Fresh WINEPREFIX

I reused my existing one. Of course, this will vary for everybody.

I did see that warning telling me the ActiveX control failed for some reason I
can't remember.

Flash *is* unnecessary to download, install and run the game.
The only part where Flash is needed is to create a hero on the website. That
can be done just fine using Linux and a browser. No need for wine, or the flash
plugin in wine. There's a "Create Hero" button on the website.
