My game crashed when, in the F4 screen with 'details' on, I clicked on the portrait of my own leader. I could exit the F4 screen, but all animations had stopped, next turn or save/load didn't work and I had to quit the game by using ctrl-alt-del.
This was my very first game of Conquests ... (yes, patch installed).
