OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - Can't update new ethnicities in quick start or existing leagues

Thanks for confirming the issue. Another bigger problem is that I'm not sure the old workaround of overwriting the names of an existing ethnicity with a new one would work anymore because of the ethnicity file. Say for instance I decided to overwrite the Romanian ethnicity to use Cuban names. I reimport the last names and names files with the Cuban names instead of Romanian and switch the Cuban nation to use Romanian names in OOTP. Sure I now get Cuban names but they will probably be all white Cubans. The ethnicity file to change Romanians skin color ratio is not a stand alone file anymore and is part of the world.xml file that doesn't get updated to existing leagues when you re-import the world.xml file.
