If you don't want to play the multiplayer and are only interested in single player, non-african DLC, then you'll be fine
PROTON_LOG=1 %command%
I am unable to play any African or European maps. Attempting to load these maps results in 'Failed to load X'. Maybe related to: https://forums.ageofempires.com/t/due-to-the-borked-map-file-encryption-for-african-maps-linux-proton-users-are-unable-to-use-them-play-multiplayer/140245
I could not find or join any multiplayer games. The multiplayer game browser is empty and attempting to host a game/join a hosted game resulted in 'HOST REJECTED' for the person joining the host. I have tried multiple Proton versions, they are as follows:
- Proton 5.0-10
- Proton 6.3-8
- Proton 7.0-6
- Proton Experimental
- Proton-6.21-GE-2
- GE-Proton7-49
Additionally I have tried the workaround involving ucrtbase.dll replacement described here: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/5258#issuecomment-956351752 I have tried rebooting computer+router. I have checked my steam profile is public.

Since my last post on this, an update to proton experimental has meant that I am now able to play multiplayer online and using the african maps with no issues whatsoever. Excellent job by whoever implemented the fix, and thank you for being so speedy on the uptake.
Works great out of the box
I've played for about 1 hour so far. Getting 30 fps on "Very High" settings with my hardware. Maybe a little low, but my gpu is a little underpowered. The game plays very well right out of the box.
