    I have the same problem too. I get CTDs when battles are over. Every third of fourth battle crashes. So I save games a lot! Do you have any ideas why?

    I tended to get one every fifth or sixth battle on the AI turn, every other where I'd won a Heroic Victory. CTDs for other reasons were very rare. I had no more than about 10 in the 550+ turns I played. Of course the game was killed by one in the end at 133BC.

    Heirs to Lysimachos - an EB 1.1 Epeiros-as-Pergamon AAR with semi-historical houserules (now ceased)

    Very rarely. I've come to 197 BC with only one major CTD when trying to conquer Mtskheta. Worked around it though.

    I seem to get random CTD's. If I turn on the game after the CTD and do the exact same thing again, it won't occur. Then agian, I ussually just do "auto_win" if I get a CTD after I win a battle.

    259BC with 3 CTD's so far. All of them during battle or at the end of it.

    Using the tips from bovi (i.e. waiting about 15 seconds after receiving the battle report screen), I haven't got any after-battle CTDs anymore.

    Sounds something I should try, atleast 90% av all my CTDs are post-battle.

    I haven't played all that much, only about 30 years of a Saka campaign. I got one post-battle CTD then in the first few years, but no more since that one.

    I was getting many CTDs on my new computer, maybe up to one an hour but usually a reload autosave sorted it out. Then I read (on another game's) tech forum somewhere about the .dll problem with ati cards ativvaxx.dll not found and sure enough used event viewer, applications log to see that it was an error that always coincided with a CTD

    Solution sounded very odd to me - reboot and press F8 to boot in VGA mode, turn off AV software, reload Ati drivers, reboot as normal.

    Well, it has cut the CTD rate to about once in a couple of night's play. I never had any AV message reporting any fault with that dll and it existed in WIN32 and elsewhere before the 'fix', so I dont understand why this solution has helped .... but it has.

    I am now left with only one CTD cause (according to said Event Viewer) which looks like a function call, still working on investigating that one. Oh, and of course the most frustrating one of all that is caused by AI cities rebelling way into a campaign during the AI turn..but thats another story.

    I hope this helps someone

    Salut!
