It's a problem that has been recuringly happening to me every 6 to 12 month, and it's rearing its ugly face once more: the game plays fine until the late part of the game, then once you reach the early 1700s the game starts crashing every 3 to 18 month with the delay between crashes shortening until somewhere between 1725 et 1750 the game crashes every time time a month passes, rendering it unplayable.

Tried several countries , big and small (France, Hejaz, Mongolia, Florence…) and the same problem showed up over and over.

The game neither strains my computer processor nor its RAM and it is cold when crashes happen, so I doubt the problem comes from the hardware.

As I said it's a problem I've had several time in the past, so I suppose that the last bels and whistles added are too much for my combination of game and OS (Mojave) to handle and by experience I expect the next batch of stability-focused updates will fix the problem. But for now I can't finish a campagn.

Having the same issues, EXACTLY as described (my crashes started in the 1720s). I am also on Mojave!

I'd be curious if this is happening to folks on Catalina or higher, maybe upgrading might fix the problem.

Edit: i was able play just fine on some other files without too much crashing, but when I purchased Leviathan it started to get much more consistent, that might help

I've been having this exact same problem ever since Lions of the North came out. I get to a point in the 1720s or 1730s where it will always crash on a certain date on the first of the month, and I can't get past it. Logs attached. I have all DLC installed, and very few mods.

If updating macOS doesn't help, can you post a few exception.txt files from the crash? They might give a hint about what goes wrong. For example in 1.33 there was a bug with event effects which reduced manpower below 0. But I don't know if that bug was fixed in 1.34 or not.
