I figure it might be helpful to assemble a list of any bugs or errors we stumble across.

So far I've found

1:Alt-tab produces graphical errors (dom scales replaced by random pictures, same with units in build screen)
Seems to be sometimes fixed by alt-tabbing out and in again.

2pent cult serpent cataphract buildable everywhere, even without temple.
This might be intentional, but assuming sacred troops need a temple the sacred serpent cataphract leader should too

3:Abysian humanbred with 2-h weapons have shields too. The special theme letting you get more humanbred has humanbred with shields and 2 handed weapons...shields arent in cost or picture but add to defense and protection still. I think this wasn't intended.

All really minor though...I'm glad I trusted to pre-order because I'd be ordering it now anyway
It seems to be a bit hard on 3d cards though...mine can only really run it on normal and I have a radeon 9600 pro with newest drivers...but I dunno

2) Sacred commanders are buildable regardless of temples. Priests are not. This is because Jotun only had sacred commanders.

3) Definite bug.

Are you referring to the Niefelheim theme, or to the standard Jotunheim theme in Dom II? (Or is Niefelheim the new standard for Jotunheim?)

In any case, I don't see what's so wrong with making Jotunheim build a temple in every fortress if they want to recruit Jotun commanders. It's not like they're going to be hurting for commanders anyway - when one commander can command 25 Jotuns, you rarely need another commander so you can have more troops. Jotun commanders have a really low casualty rate, too (especially if they have regen items, which are really good for them). And if you're using local troops or Vaettir you can use local commanders or Vaetti chiefs (the Vaetti part doesn't apply if this is a Niefelheim-only issue, though).

I usually build temples in most if not all of my forts _anyway_ - for dominion spreading, if nothing else; and they're hard to destroy and help boost my dominion strength (especially important for unusual-temperature nations).

So basically I think allowing sacred commanders without temples may be a solution without a problem.
