ctd @ 150

[hipshot]

hmmm so WTH. I have tried about every means possible to adjust settings so that Turn 150 does not crash during romani ai. I am playing Romani. Even if I go back 3-4 turns and just hit EOT it still crashes.
What amI missing?
I have deleted and re installed
adjusted vid settings
cancelled all my buildings ( I thought maybe the 'empire ' was spending too much per turn to cope with processing...that seemed to work in the 130's period.
I am at a loss here and I am getting pretty close to fulfilling the victory conditions and then some....

Am I able to post a save file somewhere? Is this the best forum to post at or should I try TWC?

Thanks in advance.
Note- I have 1.5, I believe I have applied all fixes - sprites scripts etc and followed the notes to minimize random error
