No nations, no cities

tylertoo · 10-12-2020, 03:48 PM

My newly created fictional league ended up with everything I want, perfectly, except there are no nations and no cities. But now I cannot seem to find the nation editor. (I am in Commissioner mode). I think the only way to add a new nation is to access an existing one, yet somehow I have none. Any help would be appreciated.

OOTP will not let you create a game with no world_default.xml

Yup, I should have explained that this was a league I created many versions ago using a custom world_default file. I've been importing it into new versions. Now with this latest import into v21, I notice that there are no nations or cities.

If I track down that world_default file, could I re-import it into this existing file (not as a brand new league)?

I used my old world_default file, but had to update the version number/world ID timestamp. Check it out in the one the game comes with, then copy/paste to yours.

Thanks. I'm not sure what I would do after that since I already have a save game. In other words, I know how to use the world_default file while creating a new league. I don't know, though, how to update it for an existing league. Any ideas? I am not certain this can be done, but figured I'd ask.

EDIT: Found it: Go to Game>Settings>Database. Select Data Base Tools and choose 'reimport world database' from drop down list.

I would import the default OOTP21 file, unless there is a good reason not to.
