Converting old maps?

So what about all the old dominions 2 player-made maps? I made a bunch and was wondering if they were usuable in Dom3

There are some new things you can add to old maps, such as province text color, border mountains and deep sea terrain. But you don't have to change anything if you dont want to.

Im especially thankful that even though Dom3 went with a new format (RGB) they left in the old code so that it can handle old maps (TGA). Very nice of them.
Thanks Illwinter.

I wonder why was it needed to change to RGB from TGA. RGB image compression is better?
