For bug testing you should always be using:
1. latest wine git (with any requested patches)
2. a clean prefix (aside from installing the app you're testing)
3. no overrides (unless specifically requested)

... I'm confused.  I was under the impression that the game has worked with
native (Windows') msxml3 for some time now.  The point of my patches is to fix
the built-in (Wine's) msxml.

Yes, please do that.  No msxml overrides, if you need others list them.  I
think we have a copy of Civ4, gonna try to test it myself as well.
