Freeze in the same battle

[Africanus]

I'm having the same problem in my Romani campaign, also outside Alexandria. I tried several times and got the screen freeze every time. I auto-resolved to move the game along the first time this happened. As I'm currently besieging Alexandria, the Ptolemaoi relief army attacked me, and once again, the game freezes. To be clear, the game does switch from the campaign map to the battle map, it will even let me deploy my troops, but when I hit start battle the freeze kicks in.

I'm pretty sure I can just use auto resolve again (or the auto-win cheat, it's a pitiful army they've sent this time), but would there be a way to fix this? Thanks for any help.

Then we have exactly the same problem Africanus! Seems like the Alexandria battlefield is bugged somehow.

I somehow managed to get it to work on the Alexandria tile on my last battle there. once again, I was offered battle, deployed my troops and pressed start. The game froze once again, so I selected ctl+alt+del to bring up the task manager (vista) to exit out. This time though, the game minimized to the taskbar, and when I then brought the program back to the top, all of a sudden it was working correctly. Perhaps that will work for you.

I've now secured the area around Alexandria pretty well, so I'm hoping I don't have to do battle there again!
