Storyline Quest needs adjustment

[DeletedUser]

The Fairy Storyline doesn't jibe with the options available via the Research Tree.

For example, the Research allows me to bypass Trees and Lampions - which I appreciate. There are several [useless to me] research boxes which I intended to complete after I've finished the final Wonder Research.

But the Storyline Quest mandates completion of the Trees and Lampions. If I use the options allowed me via the Research, then I won't get credit for the Farms built, Farm products produced, etc.

It's like the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing.

I think that, from Dwarven and above, all "Quests" should be declinable. Aside from the fact that "Quest" is a misnomer (we're not heroes going on adventures), we don't need the "lead and guide" aspects.

Since Quests function primarily as frustration, they should introduce mandatory "Acts of God / political concessions / facts of life". Pleasant happenstances would be, "Miracles".

I am facing similar inconsistencies : before I could research workshops, I was asked to research the main hall (next column);
and the quest to collect ambrosia came next;
unfortunately I have managed my fairy goods production in advance, building and upgrading portal and 5 farms of both types; my ambrosia storage is now full and I cannot complete the quest to produce ambrosia, while my next ambrosia-requiring research is some squares away : I have not finished researching workshops...
it looks like nobody ever thought about the logical sequence of the quest nor have tested it
