I've been getting trouble with some linux versions of games from gog and apparently it's to do with the stuff they ship being slightly out of date, compared to new linux versions. I found an old fix for some games here on the fora, but no luck with imperium.
To try and run the game, I cd'd into the game folder, used chmod +x start.sh to try and get it to run, and then used./start.sh to run it.
it returns the following output: ./start.sh: line 19: ./ig2: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error
I'm not knowledgeable about computer stuff, so any help from advanced users would be very much appreciated.
The error indicates that you are trying to run an amd64 (64-bit) game binary on a wrong system architecture. Are you using a i386 (32-bit) system? If yes, then you won't be able to run the game as it ships only with a 64 bit binary.

And sorry for the late response!
