[.805 Crash] CTD on next turn

I had declared war on Capitar, and taken one of their towns. One of their hired heroes was one tile away from counterattacking the town I'd taken, which was defended by my sovereign, a hired hero, and a pioneer. When I hit the space bar to go to the next turn, expecting the enemy hero to attack, the game crashed.

The saved game from the above crash causes a hang when I try to load it.

Here's the saved game.

Before you load go to options, and select cloth map only, and then load the game. That may get you quite a bit more play time, depending on the reason of this crash. At any rate, I noticed myself when I cranked up a game that was over 300 moves or so in that the game sort of hung. I say, sort of, because instead of a CTD or something like I'd have gotten before the game got rid of the loading dialog and sent me back to the main menu - with one unfortunate caveat. None of the menu dialog was there, but I did get to watch that whole town coming out from behind a mountain thing. Cloth map got me some joy, I was able to get in long enough to smash the opposition, and isn't that what everyone really wants?

Thanks for the tip, but even with the cloth map only option checked, when I load this saved game the music starts, and then the game hangs. Task manager shows Elemental using 100% of one of the processor cores (i.e. 13% of an 8 core processor), and I either have to kill it with task manager, or click a couple of times on it and get Windows to tell me it's not responding and do I want to cancel it.
