MacBook Pro Crashing While Playing Steam Games

My MacBook Pro is quite old, from 2015. I have been playing Civilization V on Steam without any issues for the past few weeks, regardless of how long I play. However, today it suddenly crashes right after I click on the next turn. I have already reinstalled Civilization V, and my system is also up to date. Below is the error log. Could anyone help me understand the cause?

Thank you very much for your response. I have found the cause of the issue; there is a bug when running this game on Mac.

On macOS, there is a known instant crash when civs liberate their capitals. If you are crashing on the same turn each time, you can check to see if a civ is losing their capital and regaining it. Only work around is to force peace between the civs.
