When you patch the game do not make saved games invalid. I can not count how many a game I had cut short with this patch practice. This is ridiculous!

Do you realize you can roll back to a previous game version by right-clicking on the game in the Steam library, then going to the beta tab and choosing your favourite patch (i.e. the one your savgame was made on)?
Broken savegames are very common in strategy games in my experience.
Why should I rollback when the game forces me to update! and why is this "feature" with every patch. Broken save games are not common in strategy games it's broken programing that is common in strategy games.
You arent forced to update, since you can still play with previous patches. No one forced you to play with the new patch.

It's very easy to break downward compatibility. Just think about an example, say adding another region: how do you think a savegame should still be compatible after that? It wouldn't really make sense - who gets the region? What level should it have?
Auto-patching can be disabled in steam, and you can roll back with, like, 3 clicks. The game doesn't force you to always play on the latest version. It's a convenience feature that most people prefer to manually downloading patches.
Haters gonna hate, I guess.
I really appreciate the suggestions you are contributing with here trying to help me but the problem is not with me rolling back a patch to continue my game. the problem is that every time Paradox patches the game people have to reroll to previous patches because their saves are invalid, thus makes the improvements of the patch to the newest version of the game invalid because I have to reroll to continue playing the game. It would improve the game if a new patch did not make my save games invalid.
