Playing campaign as Arnor and I've run into a frustrating (though technically workable issue) had one battle so far where it was a land battle, initiated from the land, with no pauses (I forget which city). However, whenever Ered Luin attacks the harbor town of [] I get hit with nonstop pauses for the entire fight. Pauses persist when playing at low graphics, lower resolution, higher of both, and when playing at high or half speed. Could it be from ships?

I am playing with the unit submod, correct version of RoM and a handful of basic mods which shouldn't affect gameplay (No Burden for Province Food Shortage, Food=Happiness, Corruption 40%). I do NOT have the DLC factions, which could also present an issue (I'd rather not pay over 32$ at this point to resolve this). If that is the issue, then I'll be hunting for those sales.

Anyone else encounter this specific issue and or have a resolution? Couldn't find anything on the interwebs.
