After some time of playing I started getting save error messages reading, "Failed to Compress Save Data". Here is a screen shot,

It began, at what I first thought, to appear randomly. It continued to do this about every few turns and I realized it must be the auto save feature; so I turn that off and continue to play. I had yet to actually save my game at all, so after a while longer of playing I attempt to manually save the game. I get the same message. I then exit to the main menu and attempt to reload the game, I get another error that says "failed to uncompress game data". I don't have a screen shot for that message because the entire program crashes to the desktop at that point. Here is the save anyway,

The file size is 1.5KB. I doubt it has anything to do with a compression limit. I've had games with massive amount of megabits in the past. I'm ticked off about this because I was playing, in my mind, a more then decent game and really got a great land mass to work with. And now I wasted "x" amount of hours playing a game I'm not going to get to finish. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
 
Got exactly the same problem here, at the beginning of the 1800. The wierd thing is, the game can't open a previous save from 350bc either. It says cant uncompress bla bla bla
