Last night I ran across several bugs around the orb of power and the altar of power, which boiled down to losing the orb despite no enemy force ever attacking the holding keep, then being unable to regain it when it was stolen from the top of the map. The below has been bug-reported, but I want people to be aware of them. I will not post the exploitable issue I found about orbs though, I will be emailing that.

Altar of Power is dropped by quaggan storm and cannot be repaired
Title is exactly what happened. A lightning storm was active over the garrison that held our orb, and over time its random lightning killed the altar. We got no warning that the altar was taking damage, and when it died since no enemy force had actually pushed into the center to take the garrison we couldn’t repair (at least, I assume that’s why there was no option). Instead of a Repair option the dialog was “Place Orb of Power” even when the orb wasn’t being held. When it was being held, the player would get the same message, but the orb wouldn’t place. Orb reset at 15 minutes despite having never been under true threat by the enemy. The altar should be invulnerable from lightning hits by the storm, and failing that some sort of advance warning that the altar is taking damage so that it can be repaired well before it blows up to random lightning.
