When copying cd2 you can have one or two files with the same name as on cd1, so just overwrite them. And then, install the game from this folder.
It must work this way for you too, as my Gold Edition has expansion The Titans on a seperate cd (number 3) so my cd1 and cd2 must be exactly the same as your not Gold Edition version, especially, that publisher of my version is also Ubisoft, so it should be really the same.
should i overwrite the secdrv.sys from disc 2 to disc 1?

I think both of them are exactly the same, so you can overwrite it or not :)

Great!
Age of Mythology surely is not a masterpiece, but its really quite nice RTS. Have fun :)

I do not know how its in your version, but in Gold Edition there is 4th cd with patch and language localization. I just had to install aom10to110.exe
If you have no file like this on any of your cd, then you can download it from some games portal you trust.

If it goes for playing with no cd, I have not found nocd crack for my version, so I'm playin with the darn cd in the cd reader. But maybe you could try to make an ISO of the first cd with for example AcetoneISO and mount it in the system then you would not need the cd. Thats what I usually do in the case I can not find nocd crack, but I havent tried it yet with Age of Mythology and I think I will finish the game before I will try to make an ISO :)

i only have two cds in mine.

i dont think it comes with a patch except for in the setup file.

would downloading the patch be good?

so you can make a no cd file with iso. interesting.

Well, its always a little unknown what's inside the downloaded binaries from random sites, but if there is no other option ...
I myself, would for sure download the patch from some trustworthy games portal.

That means that you are trying to apply the patch to a wine prefix without Age of Mythology installed.

When being in PlayOnLinux main list, select the AoM and press "Configure" button. Then the last tab should be something like "Miscellaneous" and under this tab you should have button named "Run .exe file for this virtual prefix" or something similar (my PlayOnLinux is in my native language, so all those are my translation to English, but it should be quite accurate)

In main menu, there is "More" (or sth like that) and then I have "About AoM" option, and there I see that my AoM base version is 1.10.
