Journey

Here's the situation: either someone explains what this bug is, or I'm going to swear loudly and for a long time.
I start the game, choose a castle (Haven), at the beginning of the game, the castle isn't built, there's no tavern. I buy a tavern and a hero, and I go to kill everything that shouldn't be there. After the battle, it says: you lost! How am I supposed to understand that? I didn't even start.
