Yesterday I was playing Poland with a few popular MODs and the game crashed as the game was nearing an end. The crash message indicated a Nvidia Error. I rebooted, started the game again to save it, but as soon as the map loaded the computer crashed with a Blue Screen (Win10).

At that point I lost Mouse Control (drivers). The computer was not recognizing the Nvidia (770GTX), then the keyboard lost functionality. I ended up doing a format reload. At this point there doesn't appear to be any hardware issues as the reload went without any issues.

I've had game crash but not completely corrupt the Registry (maybe). Have you guys ever had a crash that bad? At first I thought it may be a heat issue (or card failure/motherboard/RAM), but the temp as at 109 F, which is only 20 degrees above idle temp. I've not put any kind of a load on the Nvidia since yesterday as I'm still loading all my software, but man that was pretty rough.
 
Your problem seems similar to mine. Please check this thread for my workaround, in case that helps. TL;DR: Try starting Civ in DX12 mode.
