Atlantean scout has no description text.

The Witch is said to require both a Laboratory and a Temple, but only the Laboratory is actually needed. The Witch in question was recruited in a Hidden Forest, and has one Earth and one Nature.

Speaking of the Atlantian Scout, this unit is also the standard scout for R'lyeh. Is it intended to be so?

The description of the Moloch says he will "make its inhabitants slaughter one other". It should be "one another".

I think so. R'lyeh uses enslaved Atlantian troops, like the slave troopers and meteorite guards, so why not Atlantian scouts? Saves the trouble of making a separate scout unit for them. After all, most nations have the same scout unit, monster #426, it's just been defined into their unit selections. I suppose the reason the Atlantian scout doesn't have a description text is that R'lyeh and Atlantis are supposed to be mortal enemies and it'd be difficult to come up with a short description that was nation-specific and accommodated both nations at the same time. I suppose I could try and write one and forward that to Illwinter to see if they think it's good enough to be included in the game.

Ok, this annoyed me. The "Power of the Eye" scenario says:

"The player who takes control over the Desert Eye or the Void Gate wins."

This is a lie! I just started playing the scenario SP as Ulm, and I happened to start near the Desert Eye, so I just built a big army, hired lots of mercs and crashed into there and managed to successfully storm the place on turn 20 or thereabouts. And I didn't win! Victory condition is 2 points and I found out that each site is worth 1 victory point, so you need both sites!

Hmm. Thats bad I suppose. I do not even remember what was intended anymore. Only one should do fine.

Very little typo:
The hoburg commander is described to have a mace but it is depicted (and has) a shortsword.

The Capricorn does not have a description. I have only seen this unit in Gandalf's random maps however, and so do not know how to recruit it (or can it be actually recruited somewhere? I have yet to see it through "normal" means).
