:question: DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). Limit to ONE issue per thread.

My game crashed when I bought the 50k gold “Spies” research late in my game.

solo skirmish, 8 players[(7 bots total)5 bots alive{1 ally}, Large Silk Road map, supremacy, classic, slow game speed, no mods, about 4 hours in. Map was already 75% explored so my only thought is the sudden appearance of so many units/buildings. My computer runs the game really well on max graphics. An autosave feature would be nice if possible.
