Slow motion battles

[Sp4]

I think I figured out what causes it. There is this little thing here... every time a slow motion battle happens:

That unit is not actually visible and stuck behind the red line. Came in from a reinforcing fleet.

[Myth]

Could be. It happened to me in port defense battles but also when I assaulted a town which had a navy that wanted to help. When it's a few ships it's OK, but when they're more than 10-ish the game lags horribly the moment the AI tries to disembark. If you have the patience, once you kill some of the landed units the game returns to normal.

It never happens on disembarking for me. If the AI navy gets into the battle without it slowing down horribly, it will be alright. If it slows down, it does it as soon as the AI navy joins the battle.

-E- While I am here... how do I turn off the advisor in battle? Or make it so he only tells me stuff like the enemy general is dead rather than a window popping up telling me? I've already tried to turn it off with the settings button in the actual window but it always keeps coming back >.<
