Can you play old games with the new patch? If so, will the new info/stats be used? And will we be able to continue using old saves in the future (if it's possible now)?
It's usually not a good idea to play old games on new patches, especially in a beta.
XML is saved individually in each save-game. No information-type updates will work. Most AI upgrades will, however. Some other mechanics that were broken may also be fixed, such as special spell mechanics.
But really, I'd recommend finishing the game in the old version, or starting a new game. There's a lot of potential for incompabilities.
I did. It worked.
I did get an issue, though, where late-game saves wouldn't load, something that also killed my original game (entirely in .75). I'll try a new game today/tomorrow, because I do tend to play the long game, and being forced to quit due to saves not loading sucks.
Could info on using/not using old saves with new patches be included on the release notes page?
