CTD loading siege of Free People Settlements

[Fozzie]

Hey guys,

The Title explains most of it. I started a new Roman campaign recently, and I just got my republic's economy stabilized. My next step was to siege and take some settlements from the Free People's north of Rome (Taurasia and Mediolanum). When I go to assault and attack the walls, however, I crash without fail. It occurs when the loading screen bar reaches its end, before the battlefield is visible. I have my settings lowered to a minimum for testing, and I have shader enabled. I've tried console cheating to test for a solution. Any Free People settlement causes the same crash. I've move_character'd my general to both Carthage and Greece, and I have success in loading a battle. It seems to be specifically the Free People. I tried searching for related inquiries and wasn't able to find any this specific. Below is a link to download my saved game. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,
Fozzie

Fixed: Not sure what the initial cause was. I backed up my save and reinstalled both RTW and RS2.5. Tested it by assaulting the walls at Taurasia, and I was able to load the battle map fine.
