## Father

 The mine: Tomb of the Fist Emperor can have more tiles than the game states, due to 8 penalty tiles. This can lead to not being able to complete the HERO OF CHINA ACHIEVEMENT (49/50). The mine can have a green checkmark , up to 1219 tiles and the Last Tile Finder will not work. Restart the game after finding more tiles.

 The quest Almost There often can't be completed due to overlooking 1 or 2 Journals. The Dragon of Water mine Library of Wisdom has 2 Journals found only by moving boulders.

No more tasks? : New quests can be found in CAMP, DIGJONG (city button) or in THE TEMPLE OF THE 5 DRAGONS. Have a look at this Forum article.

This will never "fix" itself while you wait.
In general each God-questline starts with quests-givers in the city andthe last couple mines start with quest givers in the Temple(s) where the Gods are.
Side quests all start in the City.
