I thought I had fixed this problem! Hmmm... make sure that you're using the latest, the version with just mod_h3b.kfs - delete any other files in your mods folder if you got them.

If you think you have that, then what you need to do is look at WIFES.TXT and ORCELYN_BABIES.TXT. Go to Orcelyn's children= line in WIFES.TXT and then make sure all the kids listed (i.e. kid_crag_hack, kid_kilgor, etc.) exist in ORCELYN_BABIES.TXT. I did this in the latest update so they all should be there. Then go to ORCELYN_BABIES.TXT and make sure that your Gretchen has the same number of open braces ({) as close braces (}).

The error that I fixed (that you should have) was that she was missing a brace at the end of her fight section (just before her mods section) that caused all the other babies below her to become invalid.

Bad:

kid_gretchen {
  category=o
  image=heroitem_tome_gretchen.png
.
.
.
      pbonus=speed,1,0,0,-100,0,0
      dbonus=
      rbonus=
      attack_on=
      attack_off=
    }
  mods {
    sp_lead_unit_goblin=count,24
    sp_lead_unit_goblin2=count,24
  }

Good:

kid_gretchen {
  category=o
  image=heroitem_tome_gretchen.png
.
.
.
      pbonus=speed,1,0,0,-100,0,0
      dbonus=
      rbonus=
      attack_on=
      attack_off=
    }
  }  <--- Note this was the missing brace
  mods {
    sp_lead_unit_goblin=count,24
    sp_lead_unit_goblin2=count,24
  }

So check that you have at least this, if you have this, then there is another problem in that file that I need to find and fix, but the technique to use is the binary search technique where you delete half of her babies at the end of her children= line (pick the second half so remove from kid_saurug to the end of the line and don't forget the trailing comma), and then have that baby and see if it works. If it does, then add back in half of what you removed, and see if it works. If it doesn't then remove another half of her children until it works. Keep doing this until you find the child that is bugged.

If that is too much, just send me the save game and I'll track it down.
