When does the game auto-save your campaign? Does it do it only at the end of every turn or every time you move anything, take aregion, ect.?

Anybody know?

From what I have seen so far, it saves right after you pressed "turn end" just before the other nations react.
Don't know though if I misjudged it...

thats right. it saves before everyone else goes but after you are done, so if there is a move you forgot to make, all you have to do is load up the autosave and make the move and then everything is done.

Yeah, so not nearly enough.

Is there any way to change the frequency of autosaves?

Not that I am aware of, but I am in the habit now, before I start a battle or after I have gone through recruitment or construction lines to press Ctrl+s for quick save. Saved my backside plenty of times from crashes etc...

And if you need to reload to get back to where you were Ctrl+D is the quick load hotkey
