Game freezes when after battle deployment

[GenosseGeneral]

In my Romani campaign I have to fight a battle south of Alexandria to save my Ptolemaic ally from Seleucid invaders. However, after deployin my forces, right in the moment when i start battle and the other parties' troops appear, the game freezes. Note that on the battlefield should appear also 2 smaller Ptolemaic armies encircling the Seleucids, and note also that quite a large part of the battlefield is covered by sea.
SO does the game freeze because my ally's troops would be deployed in water, which is obviously impossible and therefore crashes game?

Campaign map and battle map seemed to be bugged in Alexandriae, better you fight not in this place, or use auto-calc and the cheats to get the result you would achieve fighting it by hand.
However, if this happens outside this particular region, you installation may be corrupted.

Hello there. I've the same problem in my KH campaign. I sent an expeditionnary corp to help Ptolemies (my allies) to retake the city of Alxandria and they just can't fight. Game is freezing right after the battle deployment. Quite frustrating to me when I have a huge opportunity to kick some Seleucid's ass under the wall of city. If I don't, I will soon end in a sandwich between two giant roman & seleukid blocks, without a proper ally...

XSamatan, what kind of cheats & auto-calc are you recommending ?

Cheats in Rome (http://rtw.heavengames.com/rtw/info/cheats/index.shtml)

And if you want to move an army away, this guide (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?132960-Guide-How-to-use-move_character-in-EB).

In the case that your console doesn't open, check the paragraph about this topic in the technical help (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=103681).

Thanks XSamatan. Those are useful links. I never used cheats in a game before, but RTW is a special case. I would do anything to keep what people here calls the "roleplaying" (if I'm right) to going on in my campaigns.

If one uses this tricks for roleplaying purpose its not cheating IMHO.
