Default Re: Patch Improvements

Monthly cast of site searching spells need many improvements. As it is, your mages will even cast these spells on your capital province (as well of course as conquered capitals), or on a province another mage is exploring with the same spell.

How it should work IMO :
1/ all capitals (provinces with a capital only site) should be excluded
2/ all provinces with a search level 4 in the concerned paths should be excluded
3/ provinces with a search level 1-3 should be concerned only after provinces without a previous search and provinces with a less powerful one
4/ when several provinces may be concerned (no search or equal search level) the spells should be cast on provinces with the best magic sites chances first (wastes and mountains before plains etc...)
5/ once the AI has chosen a search target for a mage, this province should be excluded for mages casting the same spell

As it is not micromanaging site searching is a big waste of gems.
