Sid Meier's Civilization IV doesn't start but throws an error message that it cannot load some XML files.
Reverting commit 9d34c44d8464722c333fdde5313b341504d3ea44 [xml2: Import upstream release 2.12.8. ] fixes the problem for me.
Installing native msxml3 also acts as a workaround.
Can be reproduced with the demo version.
