I've been playing the latest version since its release... (Well, not all day long, of course;)). In particular, after discovering quests for all peasants and all dwellings, I started replaying, starting from the point where I switch to part 2 of the map.
I found that in a well-hidden village in the north, I can only complete one quest for an artifact. After destroying the undead, it says 0%... Accordingly, no taxes are collected...
I'll try replaying again, but I'm afraid it's a bug...
P.S. Here, I just checked the first house - the quest about the undead - I killed the nearby zombies - progress 0%. And also - the approach to the ore customer is difficult, and I can't get to the zombies near his hut yet...
