Formations_ai and Elephants

[Red Spot]

Have made a (crude) line of cavalry formations, currently they are untweaked and rather weak but they work just fine ....
Untill I deploy elephants, if I remove only the cavalry formations the game loads just fine but when I deploy elephants when the cavalty-formations are present the game "freezes" (I once have been able to force the game to load wich made the camera deploy outside the battle-map and cause and immediate CTD ...

I cant seem to get my head around it, removing all but one cavalry formation and use that to test things out still presents the same problem though I cant spot any mistake in the actual formation (expect for that its not "AI-tweaked")

anyway the first defend, and currently only, cavalry defend formation is the following;

end_formation

skirmish cavalry are family-members (they always deploy in their own battle-group at the rear of the formation)

it seems that in an other infantry formation that doesnt have any elephants the elephants just deploy in the group for heavy cavalry(wich they are classed as)

going to try and see what happens if I make elephants missile cavalry and give them a group of their own (in such way they can no longer be assigned a position for heavy cavalry), but its kind of just "trying stuff" ... :(

has anyone perhaps have a clue whats going on or similair experiances they managed to work around? This joke already has costed me a day ....

Edit;
Forgat to mention that I did try the formation with and without unit_density and default_melee_state, wich makes no diff.
