No. I updated, started a new game as Persia, saved it, reloaded it, and it crashed before I could do anything.((I had up to and not including Greece conquered, was destroying Egypt, and was at war with everyone when I saved.))Did you make an update between saving and loading?
@Tomorrow's Dawn: it is intended only for certain occasions (but iirc only for the Portuguese). The reason is that especially the Portuguese have their conquests spread out and if you get conquerors for only one city and have all of China against you afterwards, it won't do much good.
I already have a concept on how to rework the mechanic so you can accept/refuse such a thing (both as colonist and as victim).
Haha, I guess it is easy currently. When did you update for the last time, i.e. which revision was it? Because I've nerfed their tech rate today.
