Upon actually getting there when I assaulted the city I got a ctd because simlarly the units I'd created hadn't shown up properly on the strat map beforehand - and that kind of thing isn't a one off in my experience. So, personally I'd recommend you either auto resolve if necessary or reload and when using 'create_unit', if you're trying to add cavalry, I'd add some Cappadocian Medium Cav or the Generic Asiatic cavalry instead.
