I don't believe this is in Win7/64 issue - more likely has to do with a Java update notice that popped up just as I was saving but ----

apparently, my game now crashes every time I hit the year end button in 192 summer. I tried the usual things: did something different then saved again, changed the save name, closed the game and opened, rebooted the PC, did a restore, etc. I can go back to earlier saves and it works fine until I get to 192 summer. Well, the Greeks have a shew in win - by far the strongest power with some 36 provinces, but it would be nice to finish (and I sure hope my next faction doesn't end at 192 summer!). Any thoughts?

EDIT: Another interesting bloop happened a few years prior: I built an army in Sparta (including three armored hoplites and a Spartan hoplite) that I sailed to the Bruti capital and took it. Two turns later, my army disappeared and a SPQR flag flew from the city. There was no mention of a bribe and, if there was one, it had to been extraordinarily large! But, here's the thing - the units inside were shown as a PARTHIAN leader and an additional 10 peasants (not units - 10 men total in eastern peasant garb). When a nearby army assaulted the town, the leader was now a 35-stong Juli family member. WTF???
