I am trying to install and play BFME (Battle For Middle-Earth), BFMEII, ROTWK (Rise Of The Witch King) & TAOTR (The Age Of The Ring) I do not have any of the game files, or games, as I couldn't find a way to actually download the games and have them work right. That is until I came upon this guide (linked below). Only issues I have are the graphics themselves and how laggy the game is

Outside of this guide, I have gone down numerous rabbit holes with no resolution. So many websites with outdated information or lack thereof. Any help would be appreciated.

From what I understand, it does! You can select what wine/proton version to run similar to the way steam does AFAIK.

I installed Rocket League through heroic and it was infinitely simpler than the lutris install I did years ago. I don't even have to have the epic games launcher installed, one click install and one click play from the heroic launcher.
