The unmodded version of PotC is unfortunately full of bugs that cause problems like this - and there never was a patch for anything else but the Russian/Euro version of the game...
If you've gone back to previous saves and gotten the same error, I think you may have one of the original bugs...
I'm afraid the only real recourse you have - Vassal is right - is to download Build 11 <a href="http://mods.piratesahoy.net/index.php?action=view&view=entry&entryid=73" target="_blank">HERE</a>
You will have to start the game over, unfortunately, but you will find it much more fun, challenging, and interesting with the mods.
Don't worry, the levels will start stacking up again quickly... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="
