I don't know if this is related, but many Settlers seem to have the Forester ability when moving along with a stack of Swordsmen, allowing the starting Swordsmen to move ahead through forests for better scouting when surrounded by difficult terrain.
Also I tried casting Holy Weapon on my Settler and it said I couldn't target fantastic units, which was strange.
Confirmed, it seems I forgot to update the unit ID when I moved the troll settler into another unit slot. They were also the culprit behind the "Barbarian Settler" problem. Will be fixed in the next version.

-On the city screen, the number of queued buildings is displayed.

I just put together a spreadsheet for Item/Artifact creation, here.
I copied the costs and required books from the documentation, I'm assuming they're accurate but if anything is off please let me know.
There were a few interesting things I noticed. Doom is available to Staff but not to Wand. I guess this makes sense because randomly generated wands could have +ToHit and Doom, which would be a waste. True Sight is available to Wand but not to Staff, which I don't understand. Is there a flavor justification, or a balance reason? Also Cloak of Fear is only available to Armor types, not to Misc. Finally Pathfinding is only available to Misc, which is funny because I think it's the most common ability I see on all randomly generated items in my games. But maybe that's my memory bias.
Some item powers aren't allowed on items to make sure the list will fit the screen (even if the player has a lot of books from realms with many item powers available), it's mostly likely for that reason. I don't remember the details anymore.
