That's definitely on my list. We'll need that functionality anyway because of.... read below:

For instance I have a pre-planned history running from 1871-present. Could I write that whole thing up in XML and have the game automatically evolve the world just like it does for the MLB?
Thanks.

When we started the world database project, we wanted to provide a number of world files which OOTP could load when needed. For example one file for 1900-1910, one for 1911 to 1920 and so on. When you sim a year in OOTP and there's another world file available for the new year, OOTP would load it and merge the data into the league file. There's some work to be done until that will be possible. But it's part of the world database concept.
If we only had more time.... (or more sales so we could hire more manpower)
