Ballistai cannot pass through gates/breeches

Is this a bug or feature?

Any help appreciated with regard to this problem:

Old graphics card-related bug with new twist, as far as I know. Just came back
after a long while to the game. It works fine on my older system, which runs
using a GeForce 4 Ti 4200.

However on my newer system, running the game on a GeForce FX 5200, there is
menu flickering and corruption which makes the game unplayable, as you might
know. Firstly, has there as yet been any way found to overcome this in RTW
alone?

Secondly, I in some way overcame this when I installed BI, in so much as RTW
and BI are both playable on the newer system. But now I find that several things
still do not work: [Presumably again due to the card?] There are no opening
cutscenes, for RTW or BI; several in-game graphics are missing. [No graphics in
the Senate tab, and numerous other graphics, e.g. captured wonder,
faction destroyed.] Is there any fix for this?

When installing the game, were you asked to install some Media Player components (I forget what they're called)? I found that without installing them, the video sequences would not play.

As far as I remember, I did install those. I will reinstall it tonight and make sure
that I do, see if that helps. [Also, this is slightly unrelated, being from BI, but I
did note that for some reason on the newer system the Eastern Roman Empire
was Barbarian and not Roman, although this has not been the case on the older,
bugless system. That said, I fail to see how this could happen, given that the
process I went through in installing the games on both systems was the same,
without any separate patching.]

Seriously WTF!!!!! Playing v1.3 (no BI) there is a rebellion in one of the Roman cities, and the rebels get 2 units of YUBTSEB ELEPHANTS!!!!

That unit is a fun easter egg but IMO should NOT appear in game like this!! It's just stoooooopid!!!! And furthermore after sieging the city for 8 years they finally emerge in their last ditch battle - or rather TRY to emerge. The Yubtseb units are too big to exit through the gates and while trying they block the way for all other units trying to get out!!! So I'm standing there waiting for like 15 minutes while the AI mills around inside the city. I finally use my sap point and make a break in the wall. I also manage to kill 2 of the beasts when they attack with my brave peltasts, only to have the dead giant animals block EVERY way into the city!!!!

Does anyone know how to remove the possibility for Yubtseb to appear as rebels? I mean wardogs and burning pigs I can accept, but 30 meter high elefants... *SIGH*
