A question before I start

I tried searching, but that function has been disabled.

I've downloaded GOTM 20. But before I start, I'm currently running PTW1.14, are there any reasons for upgrading to PTW 1.21 before starting the game?

Thanks in advance to any replys.

I played Carthage and the Celts as PTW 1.14, and the Ottomans as PTW 1.21. I slightly prefer the random Tech going into each Age as Scientific (which is not an issue for this game.) I noticed in the Celts game that when the workers were placed into Shift-A mode, the automatic-move part of the turn took forever!! This was after nearly every space was roaded and irrigated/mined (I never learned Steam Power so there were no railroads.) I eventually tracked all my workers down and fortified them instead, and that sped my turns up a lot. I didn't see those slow-downs in GOTM19.

I also figure that some other bugs were taken out, so I decided to upgrade.

I also have noticed some positive changes in gameplay after patching to 1.21f. I think you should upgrade to it, as well, denyd.
