It is probably a corruption with your saved files....

I have experienced the similar problem... But I know how to prevent it now.... make a backUp of your files. Which is pretty easy... Make a folder in your Main Folder and like this


contents in YourFolder\

Briefcase - "Auto BackUp"
Folder - saves
Folder - savesOld
Folder - savesOlder
Shortcut to Rome - Total War\saves

Every now and then. (once per day) run UPDATE in the briefcase, (make connection with the saved files first) and UPDATE the briefcase. Then copy EVERYTHING in "savesOld to savesOlder, saves to savesOld, and briefcase to saves.

I am very sorry to hear your story... I know how it feels.... I have lost a saved game of a magnificent Brutii like this.... (Two months of work)
