Dud save game at year 1250 or so...

[Losfalos]

This isnt really a gripe.

Heck if the game survives er... 250? yrs of saves i guess its okay.

But I have a save game which doesnt allow me to go on. When i press end of turn, the game goes through its calculations and before it finishes, whup... drop to windows.

Anyone have this experience? Does it happen often?

I tried shuffling my pieces around and also reboot.
Ill probably try playing from an earlier save game onwards.

Anyone interested in looking at my dud save game? The programmers might be. But even if they're not, itd be fun to show someone and compare (&#33http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif Im France and I think I have about um... 50%(?) of the lands conquered.. Is the 60% dominance calculatd in land area or something else?

hm.. ive just taken constantinople and am about to launch a major 2,000+ man offensive against the Egyptians. I even bribed a 6 star turkish general who has maximum dread points too

(i can email the savegame)

There have been a few dud savegames (I had one). GilJaySmith, a dev-guy was taking those by email to try and dissect. I'll see if he's still in that business.

One workaround is the one you suggest: play from an earlier savegame - tho' it may stick again at the same point (that's been reported also).

Some guys (including me) had some success playing thru that stuck year by clearing all the building & training queues. Kinda slows down your startegy's momentum, but at least you can play thru.

My dud was around 1250 too. (Odd).

One final thing: the game only saves 99 savegames. Make sure you have space remaining....you might have to clear some old ones.

Well I managed to get round the dud save game by reversing some of my moves during the turn before saving (assassins etc)

BUT OH NO

A few turns later after having 2 magnificent battles (3:1 kill ratio specifically in an army destruction campaign) and an annihilation of a crusading army, plus a brilliant scorched earth move midway through...

the game drops out to windows no save game possible after the end of each battles in a turn...
