OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - Switch to OOTP 13? Is it possible? Is it worth it?

The only thing I'd keep in mind is that OOTP no longer uses the old TXT files for nations, ethnicities, etc. Those have been replaced by the world_default.xml file.

So you could have problems continuing your game in OOTP13, mainly with cities of birth, nations, cities, etc. However, maybe the game accounts for this in the conversion process. So maybe you'll be okay. But I can tell you that you can't create fictional worlds the way you used to do. It's a very different process now, so I'm not sure how continuing existing fictional worlds will work.
