So I click play, pick my civ, the loading screen comes up, I see my city and intro civ report for half a second then it crashes. This is the only crash I get, and it happens like 30% of the time I start the game. Once I get past that civ intro report I'm good to go, I can play as long as I want and switch maps dozens of times and it never crashes.
It's hard to say because of the apparent rarity of the crash, but it seems to have started more recently, possibly after adding some of my production buildings. One building in particular makes me wonder, it's my Scrivener's Workshop, which makes an error sound effect whenever I click on it, which sounds significantly different than my other production buildings (I have 9 total).

|||Screw that, I can't log in at all right now, and I logged out in Argos so it doesn't list my resources. I also was able to close the intro splash by positioning my mouse over the close button before it loaded and clicking really fast, but it still crashed a split second after.
I don't think I ever logged out in Argos before, so maybe loading different maps on startup make it worse.
Wont let me edit in this section?
I tried my Greek civ which was logged out in it's almost empty home city and even that kept crashing. After about 15 attempts (I think I ticked off everyone on my friends list) I tried rebooting my PC and got in on my first attempt. So I can only think maybe it's some sort of memory corruption issue. I usually don't reboot my PC ever, it's on 24/7, so that's not something I've had to do before to get in.
