Every time it occurs, this is the last bit of the crash dump file.  Everything before that seems to be working fine.. leading me to believe it has something to do with Archers every time.

The crash occurs most often when I rush the center flag in a game against AI.  I'm not really sure of much else, other than the Archers are what is causing it.

 

The Archers also do not have a sprite for me in my games.  I'll find my Regulus often shooting invisible enemies, and upon hovering where his arrows land, I see the word "Archer".

Try deleting local program and re-downloading and installing the program.  Reply if that does or doesn't fix the issue.

Followed your instructions.  Still crashing every time I rush the flag in the first few minutes to get early archers.

 

I don't know how to attach my dxdiag file, so...I'll await further instruction.

Start -> Run -> dxdiag. hit save all information, and then paste the top bit of the resulting file (until you get to the giant lines in the display devices section should be fine) here.

You need to get a bit lower, that doesn't show your videocard. Copy all the way to the bottom of the Display Devices section, that can also be essential.
