Sorry to Report...

[Wandarah]

I get random CTD's sometimes whenever I end turn. Just after it saves I assume - because I can just reload and continue from the exact same point.

Like Wandarah I get CTDs, randomly, but in general maybe every 20 turns, but reload and play on - they almost never repeat at the same place.

My problem is that my Romani campaign I always get the defeat message appearing Ill have to check the year but - its a very short campaign if Im supposed to have captured 50 provinces by say as many turns, first time (15 province game) I though "oh well it was a short campaign but the AI factions mustve beat me to it, but surely not the 50 province game ???

Or is there some other requirement like capture a certain city that Im not doing?

things were just getting interesting

The defeat message is a hardcoded remnant from vanilla and is irrelevant. Also, the vanilla victory conditions are irrelevant. Check the "[Faction] Victory Conditions" trait on your faction leader for relevant victory conditions.
