(v1.06) Adventuring Huts disappearing, bug or feature?

While playing as Empire, on challenging difficulty, on the large map, with 9 other AI, I recently discovered the tech for upgrading to the level 3 huts.  I left the tech till later in the game (was at tech level 9 in everything else before I decided to grab it).  I mainly chose to put it off so that I could explore as many of the level 2 huts as I could.  After scowering the map and finding no more level 2 huts, I researched the tech for level 3.  After grabbing my second level 3 hut, all of the remaining huts (I could see about a dozen of them) all disappeared.

Is this by design?  Maybe I have leveled up close to level 4 huts from all of the hut harvesting I did on level 2 and the two level 3 huts put me over?

Does anyone know?

Do you have any autosaves that can reproduce this issue?

I have a saved game with it.  I have tried reloading and grabbing different huts to see if it would make a difference.  I tried for different combinations 4 attempts.  BTW, the game would CTD if I would reload that save game from inside of the game, so after 4 times, I stopped trying to trouble shoot the problem and posted here.  Should I send you the saved game file?

(I have turned off autosave, since when I load a game from autosave, my tech that I am currently researching fails  to be gained when the time is up.)

I just recreated it with v1.06+ hot fix.  The tier 3 goody hut is the "Ancient Ruins," the tier 3 "Treasure Chests" are not effected.

Upon opening the 2nd "Ancient Ruins" all of the other ones disappear.

Moving this to support. If you can upload the save for repro, please do.

Are you sure this isn't part of the design?  I also had it happen with the level 4 huts.  After I did one with a painting on a wall, that then I was suppose to go to the location in the painting (which once I was there nothing happened and the location disappeared).  I then did a 2nd hut of the same type, which was the quest to get the dragon egg.  Once I received part of that quest, all of the other huts disappeared.

Maybe there are only 2 quests for those huts and when they are used the other huts of that type disappear.

It is actually part of the design.

When you run out of possible quests for particular level all other quest giver locations will disappear.

Currently, in the game, there are only two 3rd level and two 4th level quests. And all of them are unique (not repeatable), so the moment you do 2nd one for that particular level, other quest giver locations will disappear.

Isn't it also possible the AIs are doing the quests?

I think i got ya thers basically like 3 quests for the lvl 3 ruins, but they make like 25 locatinos for it if you do 1, a 1/3 of those dissapear, 2 2/3 3 then tehre all gone, if that helps you at all and good question do the ai's do quests at all, and do they pickup goodies, also do non team champions do eitehr of those also, be great to know.
