[Solved] Game crash upon selecting Great Hall

So I am editing the Invasion of Kalimdor (+Prologue missions) and so far so good, but I noticed that when I select the Great Hall, or Stronghold or Fortress, the game freezes and after 1 second instantly crashed, but I don't even get any error messages.
Any idea how to fix? The only things I've changed about the buildings are their gold and lumber stats and the priority. So I reset EVERYTHING on the Great Hall to default and same issue occured.
This is a HUGE problem, since I am already on map 8 (Cry of the Warsong)...

No problems occur when I select an enemy orc's Great Hall/Stronghold/Fortress. Haven't tested for allies yet.

No custom models for the great hall (or its upgraded forms) or for the only unit it can train (the peon).
Same for icons. No custom icons for the great hall or its upgraded forms and no custom icon for the peon!

But the Peon does have a dependency equivalent:

I will remove it and try again (The Peon Spearthrower does use a custom model)

Important update:

removing the Peon Spearthrower as a dependency equivalent from the Peon worked!
No more crashes. I have to test the unit itself, if it makes the game crash (still haven't tested since I need to create the ability to transform the peon into a spearthrower and vice versa).
Perhaps it doesn't need to be a dependency equivalent? It should still work if I give it some morphing ability.

Does the peon spearthrower also has the dependency with the normal peon? I recall having crashes when dependencies double dipping like that

Following Blizzard's units only the base version needs the dependency (e.g. druid of the claw caster form has it, but not the bear form)
Aha! I'm pretty sure the peon spearthrower does have the peon as well!
