Ok, I have an idea what might have caused it.

I'm playing as Romani, 224 BC I think. I was at war with the hellenes. Just before the turn ended I sent a diplomat and sued for peace. However, there was a Hellenic army in Italy that had been standing there for some time, and a turn before I had ordered a Roman army to approach it and attack it. Since it was quite far and was winter, it took some time to get to the enemy army, and only arrived at the end of the turn, by which time the army had become neutral. Just as the Roman army touched the now-neutral army the game crashed.

First of all, check to see if the event repeats. In any sort of grand scale mod such as this, there are bound to be some CTDs. I've gotten quite a few CTDs, but all of them never repeated. If it does repeat, try doing what you're doing now on a different turn, or do something else with another unit before doing what you did that caused the CTD.

And if you don't have much RAM and are running a lot of intensive background programs (virus scanners, torrents etc.) that may be the cause of allegedly "persistent" CTDs.

I just removed the attacking army and it didn't recur. I think that was the problem, anyway thanks. :)
