All the other crashes I had were the result of corrupt files and that was steams fault and fixed after verifying them.

I do not understand what you are saying about the buildings but will all the grafix settings maxed the game looks very good for me.

Currently I have started as england and taken France in the first 5 turns. It is now 1705 and I have 11+ territories 3 in america including Quebec that I just took (yea I still got the starting places), I also have taken the main pirate island this past turn.
Current battle fronts:
Caribbean - island hopping with a small ground army taking pirate bases and soon an old french territory that has gold and close access to Brazil currently all pirate ports are under my control. By Florida I am holding off fleets from Louisiana and plan to keep that front in a defensive position.
African - Naval force is a few turns away from removing pirates and setting up 4 trade ships
Europe - A missive military force is being built up in pairs for an attack on the heart of spain, while I am at war with them we have yet to have any conflicts. I hope to take Spain in 3-5 turns from the first move of my army thus crushing the Spanish empire. My agents are already in Spain killing gentlemen and causing economic damage to help set up the invasion.
America - An invasion force has taken all territories previously held by France except the one below Quebec. The last french based outpost will fall within 3 moves. From here the Inuit Indians and the united states will be invaded. Also the Indians are sending a small army to try to take my northern settlement in main. When they are crushed troops from that position will leave in time to meet up with forces attacking NY in 5 turns. Force will split into two divisions to take the rest of the indian and the northern territory of Louisiana within 15 turns.
Will be opening up to 5-6 fronts in the next 20 moves.


Dude why you going to invade america? if you take the cherokee territory and already have the french ones, as well as geogia... you are given the 13 colonies... as per the mission given at turn one... to check your missions select the prestige button and click the second tab... you can be saved alot of troops and wages but just taking out the cherokee.
