Hmmm, I'll give it another shot. None of my saved games involved anything other than me getting slaughtered. Thank you for the assistance.

Reinstalling/repatching still lead to crashing; on the move phase if I moved, on the combat phase if I stayed still and the AI initiated a combat.

Most likely something related with your CPU. Dominions_3 has a endless hunger for CPU and if your CPU can't handle being maxed out then it will crash. Remember a dual core will show 50% usage and a quad core will show 25% usage because the game is not multi-threaded.
My suggestion is run some performance tests which will max out your CPU... if problems occur then we know the reason.

Thank you. I can believe that this could be an issue, since my CPU usage does seem to go to 100% some of the time when I keep windows task manager up, and it generally hovers in the 70-90% range. I'm not really sure how to run the tests you mentioned, however.
