I played the gog version about two years ago; worked fine. It uses dosbox.

Settlers 3 also worked fine on wine by the way, although personally I don't care much for it and much prefer 2 (the original, not the "10th Anniversary" remake, which is pretty bad IMO).

GOG games that use DOSBox I just run the installer and then copy the game files to run in my own DOSBox-X installation. They will run forever even if GOG stopped supporting the games on some new OS.

Sometimes launching a game is a bit tricky, buy it usually just comes down to looking in the GOG DOSBox conf file and see what they do.
