This zip folder contains the starting savegame files (from Turn 1) and the starting Worldbuilder savegame files (from Turn 0) from Season Nine of Civ4 AI Survivor. Note that these files were generated with the Apostolic Palace removed from the gameplay and therefore will not load normally onto a standard copy of Civ4. You will need to make a change to one of the XML files in order to run these saves. I've included the edited version of this file "CIV4BuildingInfos.xml" which can be found on your local hard drive under Program Files\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Beyond the Sword\Assets\XML\Buildings. 

*** DO NOT replace the default version of this file without backing it up somewhere else ahead of time! ***

With the "CIV4BuildingInfos.xml" file replaced with the version included in this zip folder, the savegame files should load and run normally. The non-Worldbuilder files are ready to run immediately with all of the setup in place: Great Spies used to gain Demographics info, the Observer civ set to +100 relations with everyone, etc. Just enter Debug mode by typing the ` key (in the top-left corner of an American keyboard) followed by "chipotle" with no quotation marks to enter debug mode, followed by Control-Z to reveal the whole map. The Worldbuilder savegame files are also included for those who would like to experiment a bit more with the settings. Finally, I've included a Word document with the starting techs and AI leader information for anyone who wants to try making text edits to the Worldbuilder file as I've demonstrated on Livestream. 

Enjoy!
