Unspecified error when selecting occupy, sack or exterminate

Hi All,

Been playing for about 200 years. Game is triggering unspecified error when I try to take Aragon City. Computer is up todate with drivers and is only a couple of years old. If anyone has any thoughts, I would appreciate it. Thanks. System log shows the following:

forgot the last line:

I figured out a solution, although it does not fix the underlying problem. After experimenting a bit, I found that the faction leader was within the sieged city and his heir was leading an army on the outside. When I took the city and killed the faction leader, I would get a CTD following the sack, occupy, exterminate screen. When I fought the heir and his army and killed the heir first, when I took the city afterwards, there was no CTD error. So I am merrily on my way to attacking other factions. Hope this helps some folks. If anyone knows how to fix the underlying problem, I would still be interested. Thanks.
