Which variables are you referring to?
The 0.7.2 class net.sf.freecol.common.model.GameVariables is deprecated
What is the equivalent in 0.8 ?

I have added some code recently to open legacy 0.7.2 maps in the 0.8 map 
editor.
It was easy because they only use a small set of classes (map, tile)

But savegames use many more model classes which have changed a lot.
I did a small test with 0.7.2 -> 0.8, and the problem I noticed was 
Player.index=null
Do you think it is feasible to support legacy support of old games?
Should we even spend time on this?
